The document discusses Theatre in Conversations, an approach to community development in rural Papua New Guinea that uses applied theatre techniques and community conversations. The approach aims to create social transformation through collective learning. It involves training community members as artist-facilitators to develop a sequence of theatre episodes on issues identified by the community, with each episode stimulating a conversation. The methodology focuses on building capacity through training, mentoring, iterative processes, and reflective practice both in formal workshop spaces and informal community spaces. The document considers whether this approach can reinforce transformation or simply be a spectacle, and concludes it may contribute to transformation by deepening artist-facilitators' understanding of issues and enabling genuine community participation and sharing of stories in a safe space

Theatre in Conversation:
spectacle or transformation?
• A spectacle of the moment?
Acts of violence may compel a social response in terms of the
spectacle of the moment... (Lepani 2004)

• Reinforcing harmful attitudes , values and
behaviours?
Macpherson (2008)
• Reinforcing local relations of power, authority and
abuse?
Chinyowa (2009)

How does Theatre in Conversations
contribute to social transformation?
• Assists artists-facilitators to have a deeper
understanding of the social issues
• Genuine community participation.
• Power of the safe space to bring forth stories,
particularly about men from men.

The document discusses a proposed bill that would change how the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) tests for and reports E. coli bacteria levels at state park beaches. Currently, the DNR uses a strict testing standard and closes beaches entirely with "yellow crime scene tape" when bacteria levels are elevated. The bill would instead require the DNR to use EPA testing methods over a 30-day period and post "Swimming Not Recommended" signs rather than fully closing beaches. Local business owners argue the current policy damages the local economy when beaches are closed. While the DNR initially agreed to change its policy, it is unclear if the policy will be implemented before the start of the tourism season.

The Lancet Series on Violence Against Women and Girls

TheLancetWeb

Every day, millions of women and girls worldwide experience violence. This abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. The Lancet Series on Violence against women and girls shows that such abuse is preventable. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programmes, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress.

This document discusses a study analyzing the use of new media tools by peripheral youth in virtual communities. The study examined the Malayali Pondicherry University Facebook group from November 20th to 30th, 2011, categorizing posts based on format, language, content, engagement, and date. It found that the community is male-dominated, with active participants setting the agenda to promote certain viewpoints. Peripheral members engaged in diverse discussions and shared varied content, encouraging participation in online and real-world campaigns. The virtual debates empowered youth to move from the margins to the core of the community.

Rachel Rogers traveled to the US as part of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to research performance making and dance programs for older adults. She visited organizations in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston and New York. Her goals were to learn new methods for creatively working with elders, explore the impacts and benefits of such programs, and expand her own practical skills in working with older adults. Some key programs she observed included Quicksilver Arts in Philadelphia, which offers weekly rehearsals and performances for mixed-experience seniors; Dance Exchange in Washington DC, which has an intergenerational performance company and programs in health, wellness and dance for those with dementia; and Brooklyn Dance for PD, a 10+ year program of free dance classes

Radhika Khanna-Pedagogy & Cinema-A study of select Bollywood Films

pumediaseminar2011

This document discusses a study analyzing the pedagogical impact of select Bollywood films, including Taare Zameen Par, Chak De India, and Black. The study examines how these films portray social and educational issues and influence audiences. Textual analysis and interviews were used to understand the films' representation of topics like inclusive education and differently abled individuals. Taare Zameen Par in particular was found to raise awareness about dyslexia and influence education practices. The analysis concludes that while films can shed light on issues, real change requires action, but popular media like these films can trigger discussion and shift audiences and educators.

L1 Physical Theatre: Skills

Gareth Hill

It discusses how physical theatre uses choreographed movement to convey meaning and tell stories without words. Key aspects covered include using the body as a prop, minimal props/scenery, and communicating emotions through movement. Examples are provided of both exercises for students, such as moving partners across a space in various emotional states, and professional physical theatre companies like Frantic Assembly and Gecko Theatre. Reflection on techniques and how they engage audiences is encouraged.

Teachers’ work: The tacit pedagogy of expert teachers in rural Malawi.

Chris High

This document outlines a participatory video project in rural Malawi that investigated teachers' understanding of active learning. Interviews with teachers revealed a more sophisticated understanding of concepts like active learning than implied by their training. This challenges assumptions of teachers having deficits. The participatory video process allowed teachers to engage in sense-making and helped researchers gain trust to get a richer view of teaching practice beyond what is easy to measure. The study suggests capacity building is an ongoing process of exchange between teachers' communities of practice.

Improvistion and Social Change: A Qualitative Methods Approach to Research in...

Stephen Zeni

This document outlines a proposed qualitative research study on the link between improvisation and positive youth development. The author proposes using three methods: semi-structured interviews to understand long-term outcomes, interpersonal recall processes to study identity and awareness building during improvisation sessions, and participant observation to gain insight into communication skills needed for improvisation. Ethical considerations around consent and potential tensions are also discussed. The integration of these methods is suggested to gain a full picture of how improvisation impacts youth development.
