Workshop on applying theatre in the context of trauma, healing and as a tool for social change. Hope Azeda and Nora Amin shared their experiences and methodology of drawing from local circumstances and realities for artistic work and making art and theatre which inspire and feed into the transformation of our social realities (\\\"Real life for theatre/theatre for real life\\\").


A public presentation of the workshop was held at the end of the collaborative week, followed by a

Conference \\\"Performance Practices for Social Change - Perspectives from Africa\\\"


A space for dialogue and reflection on working with theatre in conflict and post-conflict regions and applying theatre as a creative tool to participate in processes of social change. What are the specific potentials of working with theatre and creative processes? What type of work is particularly effective and what kind of circumstances do we need to create satisfying work? Which are the specific limitations of theatre as a part of social transformation? What are specific aspects of working in the context of the Global South?
