As your participants enter this session they may feel overwhelmed by all they have learned and their ability to put it all together.
So you need to work to ensure their confidence. Let them know that they can fit it all together and make a real Forum Theatre event.
Use your time well today and give them pep talks as they do each part. It is still a workshop. Do not expect perfection and don’t blame them if they forget something - that’s how they will learn. Be prepared to step in, or call out reminders as they are doing their workshop performance for others.
And at the end of the day let them know how well they have done and that from here they will learn more and more by doing it and refining it.
Talk about the future and remind them of the change they want to make.
Let's join them to do the activities below:
2. Character hot seat
Here we use hot seating when a character is already in development to deepen their knowledge of the character, and to help them on the path of discovery. It is a simple technique of interviewing someone about themselves, and is important because it is a cooperative exercise with the group – not a solo discovery.
Invite the first group to perform their forum theatre play.
