Exploring feedback through forum theatre (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Drumm, L. (2019, January). Exploring feedback through forum theatre. Presented at SHIFT 2019: Annual Conference of Learning, Teaching & Assessment, University of Greenwich, London

Forum theatre was established by Boal (1985) as way to draw an audience into debates by using short plays as provocations. As this conference recognises, feedback should be a process of dialogue, consultation and mediation, but identifying how to man... Read More about Exploring feedback through forum theatre.
