LIVING SCENES Forum Theatre Drama
The scene is
set-youngsters kick a ball into an elderly ladies’ garden, again. She has had
enough, she bursts the ball…what happens next?... You decide!
The performers, young and young at
heart, re-enact a story which demonstrates some aspect of inequality or
oppression which has taken place in place in real life.
The audience are offered the
opportunity to stop the performances and to step into a role to offer an
alternative point of view. They do this by taking on the parts of a character
and replaying the scene again. In this way they take control of the
situation and effect positive change.
The intergenerational focus of the Living Scenes programme seeks to
create a climate in which the participants will develop interpersonal skills,
self-realisation, character building skills and cross-generational awareness
and respect.
The participants from Living Scenes
meet every week in Croí na Gaillimhe Resource Centre. The centre provides an
intergenerational place of welcome. Loretta Needham, Manager of the centre is
delighted to host this exciting programme and is delighted with the continuing
support of the St. Vincent de Paul, O Connell Trust. Mr. Brian Melia, principal
of Galway Community college says that he was delighted with the opportunity to have the programme in the school. “The
students are gaining invaluable
experience in engaging in a meaningful way with a community group like Croí na
Gaillimhe, St Vincent de Paul.”
