Dignity Forum Theater Event

THANK YOU to the over 600 people who came to support the young adults, and to experience an interactive forum theatre event!

Join us for a final performance at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church as we become a part of The Franciscan Coalition's ongoing 'Sojourns for Justice' series.

What is Dignity? How do you define it? Can someone take it away from you? Can you give it to others?

These questions are being explored by the young adults of Poplar Springs Christian Church in Raleigh, with the help of JTP's artistic Director, Deb Royals.

This collaboration will culminate in a "forum theater" style performance on Wednesday, April 29th at 7:00 pm at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church 11401 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613
(919) 847-8205 . www.stfrancisraleigh.org

This event is free and open to the public, and no tickets are needed.

Here's a web site with all the specifics about the show and the actors: http://jtpdignityforum.homestead.com/Index.html

Don’t miss your chance to be a part of the dialogue.  You are encouraged to take part in the “discussion” using the power of theater as your tool.

What is Forum Theater?

“Forum Theater” is an interactive theater experience rooted in the practices of 2008 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Augusto Boal.  Its purpose is to move the audience from spectator to “spectactor” so as to open up a discussion around current issues of social concern.  The audience is given an opportunity to get “into” the performance, make their voice heard and create an intervention with regard to the theme.  The theme for this “Forum” event is Dignity.  Please feel free to become a part of the discussion and ask questions as a participant in this unique style of theater.  The facilitator known as the “Joker”  in “Forum” events will clearly explain how everything works.  Your presence and your voice are integral to the process.
