Forum theatre is a theatre technique that begins with the enactment of a scene (or anti-model) in which a protagonist tries, unsuccessfully, to overcome challenge relevant to that particular audience. The joker then invites the spectators to replace the protagonist at any point in the scene and enact the same scene with alternative action that could lead to a solution. The scene is repeated numerous times with different people from audience playing the scene. This results in a dialog about the challenge, an examination of alternatives, and a “rehearsal” for real situations.

Every child is a storyteller, an actor and an artist. They observe and perceive the world around them in their own way. They also have their own stories to tell. They just need a space to bring out the explorers hidden in them. Hence, the aim of this workshop is to create a setting where opportunities for telling a story in words, motion and emotions can bring awareness beyond the parameters of their own home/school environment.

The goal is to instill the joy of theater and in doing so, help to grow happy, healthy and confident kids.
