Community theatre

the long version

"Community theatre is an important device for communities to collectively share stories, to participate in political dialogue, and to break down the increasing exclusion of marginalized groups. It is practised all over the world by growing numbers of people." "Eugene van Erven, one of the world's foremost experts on Asian political theatre, has put together the first comparative study of the work and methodological traditions which have developed in community theatres around the world. It is a wide-ranging study based on van Erven's experiences working with community theatre groups in six very different countries." "This introductory guide is an invaluable resource. If you are studying or working in the field of community theatre you cannot afford to be without it."--Jacket.
