participatory theatre

Participatory theatre is a performance style that actively involves the audience in the storytelling process. Unlike traditional theatre, where spectators passively watch, participatory theatre encourages them to engage, interact, and influence the narrative. This can take various forms, such as improvisation, role-playing, or problem-solving within the performance. The goal is to create a more immersive experience that fosters dialogue, reflection, and sometimes social change. By inviting audience participation, these performances can address important themes and issues, making the theatrical experience more relevant and impactful to the participants’ lives.
