Applied Theatre: Ethics explores what it means for applied theatre
practice to be conducted in an ethical way and examines how this
affects the work done with communities and participants. It
considers how practitioners can balance aesthetics and ethics when
creating performance, particularly with relatively inexperienced
and often vulnerable groups of people who are being asked to both
tell and stage their stories. The two sections bring together
theoretical and practical ways for theatre-makers to examine the
ethics of their applied theatre projects. Part One offers an
overview of critical debates and the editors' reflections on their
own practice. It introduces readers to ethics in applied theatre,
informed by the thinking of philosophers, scholarly literature and
the editors' own experience, including Indigenous perspectives on
ethics and theatre. For applied theatre practitioners, it provides
recommendations for community-based ethical approaches working with
principles of voice, agency, care, service, collaboration,
presence, relationality and reciprocity. Part Two presents a range
of international case studies that explore how the theories and
issues are worked out in a variety of diverse practices. It
considers ethics from varying critical perspectives and contexts,
including projects in Greece, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the
United States, the United Kingdom, the Philippines and Canada.
Covering work with participants of many ages, the case studies
include the work of a professional dance theatre company working
with people in substance abuse recovery in the UK, interactive
drama used in an educational context in Nigeria, and the
complexities around an applied theatre project on race in the US.
