Description

Forum Theatre is a unique approach to facilitation – creating space for change and reflection through creativity, play, and certainly some bravery (to begin with!)Though the concept fascinates me, I have not had the chance to explore it in as much detail as I would have liked to. To have Pernille Jacobsen, a brilliant facilitator and Forum Theatre practitioner, join me on workshops work gave me the opportunity to change that – and I was not left disappointed.Forum Theatre and facilitation share many similarities but cast the other in new lights when considered as two halves of a ‘whole’.In this episode, you will find out about: What makes Forum Theatre unique and so impactfulHow Forum Theatre works on a practical level, and how Pernille uses it in a facilitative settingWhat Forum Theatre has taught Pernille as a facilitator, and what facilitation has taught her as a Forum Theatre practitionerHow, if at all, Forum Theatre can be translated into a virtual environmentWhat facilitation and Forum Theatre might look like in the futureDon’t miss the next show: Subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.A huge thank you must go to SessionLab, the sponsor of Workshops Work.
