Course/Module description:
The course offers a study of applied theatre that combines art with social action (Artivism). The emphasis will be on the connection between communities and communication – that is: using theatrical tools to 'translate' different mindsets and diverse abilities. The course consists of a theoretical component and a practical workshop. The theoretical component will focus on different forms of applied theatre and the tensions and strengths inherent in it. We will learn key concepts in disability studies and discuss selected examples of socio-artistic action, in different contexts of disability.
In the theatre workshop we will experiment with theatre as an alternative language that allows for a common space that facilitates communication. The exercises will focus on the seam between playing-acting and new forms of 'talking', attention [listening] and conveying knowledge.
The course is [also] suitable for students who wish to enrich their professional 'toolbox' and experience theatre practices that can be applied in other areas.
The course will include [as far as possible] participants who are not students.
