Based on five case studies and informed by play theory, it argues that the playful elements of theatre processes nurture a unique intimacy among diverse people. However, this playful quality can also dampen explicit conversations about participants? cultural differences, and defer an interrogation of people?s own entrenchment in systemic power imbalances. As a result, addressing these differences and imbalances in applied theatre contexts may require particular strategies. Elliot Leffler is Assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Toronto in Canada. As an artist and a scholar, Elliot explores theatre-making as a context for intercultural, interfaith, and intergenerational dialogue. He has led theatre projects with white, black, and coloured South Africans, with Jews and Palestinians in Israel, with Kurdish and Arab Iraqis, with urban US high school students, and with racially-diverse houses of worship. His previous publications include articles in Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre Research, Theatre Research International, The Drama Review, Theatre Topics, and Contemporary Theatre Review. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies In Play, Performance, Learning, and Development,$x2946-2649 606 $aTheater 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aIntercultural communication 606 $aPeace 606 $aApplied Theatre 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aInternational and Intercultural communication 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aApplied Theatre. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aInternational and Intercultural communication. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 676 $a305.906914 676 $a305.906914 700 $aLeffler$b Elliot$01264900 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910631097003321 996 $aApplied Theatre and Intercultural Dialogue$92965752 997 $aUNINA
