Using participatory theatre to explore ethical issues in community-based participatory research.

The project was initiated and coordinated by Sarah Banks, Centre for Social Justice and Community Action, Durham University, working with Frances Rifkin, Utopia Arts, a long-established theatre practitioner in the Boal tradition.

The exercises written up here draw on Frances’s work with Augusto Boal, Brazilian theatre director, and her many years of work in Theatre of the Oppressed.
