Theatre for Development Project

Theatre for Development Project To use theatre to sensitize, educate, train and create employment for young people of the Gambia, wh

Theatre for Development is a development practice that aims to use theatrical performance as a participatory tool to help individuals and groups share their experiences with the intent of social transformation. It offers a practical and theoretical exploration of the ways in which the arts can be used by communities to create social transformation on their own terms. Training will be conducted in

the form of a master class or training of trainers (TOT) session that will bring together participants from the 5 administrative regions and two municipalities of The Gambia. Five (5) participants will be selected from each of the regions and the two municipalities. These trainees will in turn become regional trainers who will transfer their skills to newly formed theatre groups in their localities. At the end of the TOT sessions participants are expected to return to their regions/municipalities, and mobilise interested community members to evolve productions that will be based on their local experiences and concerns.(Regional Training) The process of developing theatre productions that are relevant to their communities will provide opportunity for reflection and dialogue on issues of community concern, as well as serve to interrogate government policies which affect their geographical areas. At the end of the regional training sessions, the various regions will be invited to showcase their productions in a grand finale/festival which will be organised on a competitive basis, and prizes will be awarded to winning teams. It is expected that the process will stir the formation of permanent theatre groups/practitioners in each region who will be able to manage their own affairs and use theatre as a means for generating funds, employment and sustaining their activities.
