 COMMUNITY INTERACTIVE THEATER |
| Group of theatre techniques and performances breaking the "fourth wall" that separates performers and audience physically as well as verbally. While in traditional theatre performance takes place in a designated stage area, the audience members passively observing the play; in interactive theatre performance often involves the audience actively. They may be invited to provide performance suggestions (as in improvisational theatre) or take part in the play as characters (as in Augusto Boal's forum theatre). The performance becomes a starting point for dialogue that often leads performers and audience to deal with difficult, complex topics. Interactivel theatre is also helpful for therapeutic and educational purposes: in these cases, the audience may be asked to discuss pertinent issues with the performers. The main outcome of an interactive theater performance is often the increase of community strength, creativity, knowledge and competence. [1] |
