Africa has internal cultural resources that have positively
influenced its development. "Community in Motion" explores the
relationship between theatre and Freirian pedagogy. It underscores
the urgency of refocusing development strategies on human rather
than technical resources by showing how culture has traditionally
played an important role in African development, and demonstrates
the similarities between traditional African cultural paradigms and
Freirian pedagogy.
The author describes selected significant Theatre for
Development programs in diverse parts of Africa and determines the
extent that these programs find congruence with the teachings of
Paulo Freire. Case studies of Botswana, Zambia, Nigeria, and Kenya
explore in detail the ongoing work in Zimbabwe, specifically the
Zimbabwe Association of Community Theatre (ZACT). ZACT's work is
analyzed in the context of Freirian pedagogy in order to highlight
the development of a community-based theatre operation that is
national in its scope and international in its influences.
