Abstract

Applied Theatre stands as a dynamic and transformative practice that transcends the boundaries of traditional theatre, offering a platform for addressing pressing social, political, and community issues. Through its emphasis on engagement, interaction, and participation, Applied Theatre employs a diverse range of styles, including forum theatre, interactive performances, and participatory workshops, to catalyze social change. In this article, we delve into the unique styles of Applied Theatre, its departure from traditional theatrical norms, and its profound impact on society.
