Agora in Tirgo Mures, Rumenia 21-26/7-03 extracts of forum Theater |
|
At this agora the
both groups A and B were gathered. The following pictures are a mix
of the two groups. We were led through various exercises of Forum Theater by the two skilled instructors Anna Gifford and Gill Dowsett from "Theatr Fforwm Cymru" in Wales. This was the third time the groups were gathered, and the level of training moved to a higher level of responsibility in the proces of foruming and instructing. After warming up exercises we focused on issues and stories that were important and real to the participents, in the sense that they had really happened or were ongoing situations. The stories that were told often focused
on domestic violence, oppressive sexual behaviour and lack of service
by the authorities. Other stories focused on traumatic experiences
through the Balkan wars, problematic family situations and lack
of sexual tolerance. Providing more possible ways to act and react is a very strong element in the Forum theater. |
