On Saturday 17 September we partnered with Equity to support a highly enjoyable training session

This turned out to be a hugely enjoyable, practical day with 12 people from Somerset and the SW region taking part at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre. Run by Sandy Akerman, Artistic Director of Headbangers Theatre, and her son Dan. Sandy is an Applied Drama Specialist and works as a facilitator, director and drama consultant on issue-based research projects. She trained in Forum Theatre with Augusto Boal in the 1990s and has specialised in interactive theatre work ever since. We explored the structure of the theatre form, how to find our stories and then convert them to Forum. Working on our own short piece, we explored some of the techniques and rules of Forum Theatre - a highly enjoyable day for all taking part. Look out for news of our next training session with Equity.
