Book synopsis:
Forum Theatre for Children shows the vital role of drama and play for children in primary as well as secondary schools, and describes each step of the process of Forum Theatre - the activities, workshops and performances. It provides detailed, evidence-based models of FT that have helped children to manage in times of austerity, family instability, community conflict and at times of transition. The book shows how FT can be used in a child-centred way within a range of organisations to develop children's sense of solidarity, belonging, problem-solving, constructive protest and community membership, and encourage them to experiment with roles and find sustainable, real-life solutions to personal and shared challenges. Links are made between FT case examples, the child, the family and community well-being demonstrating the transformative potential of theatre and psychology.
