We then hope to offer them the opportunity to learn new ways of playing with their children.

Forum Theatre on the Radio PDF Print E-mail
We are currently working on a project to deliver a forum theatre radio piece on the radio.  The project is designed to facilitate discussion and consultation around proposed regeneration activity in the Parson Cross area of Sheffield.  The project will be a development of our previous work on radio and will be appearing on BBC Radio Sheffield sometime in late April. Whereas tradition Forum Theatre is fairly dependent on the participation of the audience as spect-actors in the piece, Dead Earnest's approach uses much more dicussion and character hot-seating.  This subtle difference in technique means that the style of Forum Theatre that we practice is ideally suited for delivery to larger and geographically diffuse audiences via local, regional or even national radio.  In this pilot project we hope to combine the forum theatre script with a live phone-in, using the narrative to spark debate and discussion.
