Is it possible to use participatory theatre to reconnect and reconcile enemies? What is the trauma-healing effect for those acting in a theatre troupe? Claus Schrowange has explored these questions and the opportunities of using forum theatre in peace work in Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, and DR Congo. His conclusion is that forum theatre is more than mere entertainment. It is an aesthetic tool for social change. But the value of theatre is not generated automatically, the way it is done matters. If it is done in a participatory manner with an authentic, be¬lie¬vable acting style, involving both the audience and stage actor in a vivid and touching experience, the impact is immediately felt. This book presents the approach Schrowange developed together with a team of African theatre practitioners in a variety of circumstances and environments. It is illustrated with case studies taken from the author´s direct experience of using the approach he describes in Eastern DR Congo and Rwanda. 330 1 $a"Forum theatre opens avenues for reconciliation and trauma healing. Some of the people Claus Schrowange describes in this book, who were affected by violent conflicts, may now lead fuller and freer lives, with the burden of their past shared and reduced."-Joshua Kasereka Lusenge, Coordinator, APRED-RGL, Kigali, Rwanda 330 1 $a"Long-term peace work is based on the assumption that "peace grows from within". This means consequently that the main task of a peace worker is to reinforce local capacities for peace in order to obtain sustainable civil solutions. The rich experience with forum theatre in different African countries (DR Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan) that Claus Schrowange has made and been able to summarize in this book is a remarkable contribution in this regard."-Christiane Kayser, Coordinator, Civil Peace Service Network, Bread for the World 410 0$aBerliner Schriften zum Theater der Unterdru?ckten. 606 $asocial change 606 $aRwanda 606 $apeacebuilding 606 $aUganda 606 $aSouth Sudan 606 $aconsciousness 606 $aDR Congo 606 $aconflict studies 606 $aart 606 $atransition 606 $atheatre 615 4$asocial change 615 4$aRwanda 615 4$apeacebuilding 615 4$aUganda 615 4$aSouth Sudan 615 4$aconsciousness 615 4$aDR Congo 615 4$aconflict studies 615 4$aart 615 4$atransition 615 4$atheatre 676 $a792 700 $aSchrowange$b Claus$4aut$01709513 702 $aHahn$b Harald$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960182003321 996 $aArt and conscientization$94099320 997 $aUNINA
