Participatory Theater

Participatory theater is a form of performance where the audience actively engages with the story, instead of just watching passively. It invites participants to influence the narrative, dialogue, or actions within the play, creating a shared experience between performers and viewers. This approach encourages collaboration, improvisation, and personal involvement, making the audience part of the creative process. It’s often used to explore social issues, foster community, or generate deeper emotional connections, transforming spectators into active co-creators and blurring the line between performer and observer.
