Offering community theatre

Description

Offering community theatre involves organizing and presenting theatrical performances by and for local residents, fostering creative expression, social cohesion, and cultural awareness. This strategy provides accessible platforms for diverse voices, addresses social issues through dramatization, and encourages community participation. By engaging audiences and performers alike, community theatre remedies social isolation, promotes dialogue, and empowers individuals, ultimately strengthening communal identity and resilience while making the arts more inclusive and relevant to local needs.

Implementation

The group "Doctors of Happiness' of Sao Paulo, Brazil uses clown theatre as its main language. Experienced, professional artists perform delightful parodies of medical rounds where the healing power of humour is the chief medical treatment.
