Forum Theatre Practice Group goes Live



Next Workshop: Saturday 7th March 2009, 1:30pm till 5:30pm. Jokers: Any and everyone.
Everyone can have a practice of joker-ing. Making it a choice in this little event whether or not you have a go. This means you can have a go without a worry in the world. Being a social event you can bring whoever you like to it. Jennifer Hartley will start us off if she can make this event.


Bridgend college: Friday 18th November, 9am - 12pm. Jokers: Suz Phillips, Nathan Keates, Justin Thompson.
Moving from warm-ups to image theatre to our example forum to explain what we shall be doing with their own stories, the overall three hours went well. The mix of Jokers worked very well with picking-up the role from each other clearly and with clarity. The opinion that we got back was of high opinion, so much so we have been offered to return in 2009.


This is a free event that can be booked by anyone wanting to practice the Joker role. It is open to anyone, but will be assumed that they have trained in Theatre of the Oppressed.

…Going Live will invite our networks into the Sherman Theatre to be a participant in a Forum Theatre workshop that will deal with perspective on life through the eyes of oneself. This means delving into what the participants perceive and what they feel. We do this through working with the Theatre of Oppressed methods developed by Boal. The Joker can be anyone who has trained with Theatre Vs. Oppressed (Jennifer Hartley). The scheme will be to help bring Forum Theatre to the public by making the role of the Joker practiced. With the names of Sherman, Ludus Ludius and Theatre vs. Oppressed tagged on the three organisations can publicise this project’s implementation. Along with all the other Jokers that have trained publicising the project, we should find many participants. If we could manage to get the project to be accomplished monthly, so each Joker has an opportunity to practice Joker-ing each time then we could develop our Jokers swiftly.

Forum Theatre will impact the attendees and the Joker. The idea of learning to deal with the oppressions in your life is quite an important lesson. We widen this as we enter the process and to ease participants into the work. We say we are looking at how we live and this involves self realisation, not analys-ation. So for the Joker to realise, their self, what the process is and how we can delve into this intense environment through the operation of the workshop, then we can find success and progression.

Get involved and contact Ludus Ludius and ask to attend the next session. The sessions are going to be at Sherman Theatre (TBC) once a month. The practice session will be opened by Nathan Keates (if possible) and from there the Jokers will take over.
