Applied Theatre: Facilitation is the first publication that directly explores the facilitators role within a range of socially engaged theatre and community theatre settings. The book offers a new theoretical framework for understanding critical facilitation in contemporary dilemmatic spaces and features a range of writings and provocations by international practitioners and experienced facilitators working in the field.Part One offers an introduction to the concept; role and practice of facilitation and its applications in different contexts and cultural locations. It offers a conceptual framework through which to understand the idea of critical facilitation: a political practice that that involves a critical (and self-critical) approach to pedagogies; practices (doing and performing); and resilience in dilemmatic spaces. Part Two illuminates the diversity in the field of facilitation in applied theatre through offering multiple voices; case studies; theoretical positions and contexts. These are drawn from Australia; Serbia; Kyrgyzstan; India; Israel/Palestine; Rwanda; the United Kingdom and North America; and they apply a range of aesthetic forms: performance; process drama; forum; clowning and playmaking. Each chapter presents the challenge of facilitation in a range of cultural contexts with communities whose complex histories and experiences have led them to be disenfranchised socially; culturally and/or economically.
