Mr. Zubair Idrisi conducted an engaging Forum Theatre workshop for Grade 9 & 10 students on the 22nd and 24th August, 2023. The workshop, spanning 2 days, focused on the core principles of Forum Theatre, a dynamic form of interactive theatre aimed at exploring social issues. Through a blend of theoretical discussions and hands-on activities, students were introduced to the concept of "spect-actors," who actively participate in altering the outcome of a scene. Mr Idrisi adeptly guided students through exercises that honed their improvisational skills, encouraged critical thinking, and promoted empathy. By delving into real-world challenges and collaboratively brainstorming alternative solutions, the workshop fostered a deeper understanding of the role theatre can play in addressing pertinent issues. Students left the workshop not only with a richer appreciation of Forum Theatre's potential for social change but also with newfound confidence in their own expressive abilities. Their reflective responses resonated profoundly, underscoring the workshop's impact on their perspectives and emotions.
Really like the idea of "spect-ators". The workshop looks very interactive with a lot of learning opportunities.
