About our academic programme

Drama for Life rejects functional interpretations of Applied Drama that reduce the field to a limited technical approach. Applied Drama is about the creation of critical reflective pedagogies, spaces and aesthetic forms that give rise to alternative ways of being in the world.

This online conference results from a long-standing collaboration between two centres of applied theatre education and research in South Africa and Norway (2017- 2022). It invites knowledge, critical conversations and artistic work related to issues of democracy, both historical and contemporary, within the global framework of our current (post)-democracies.
