| Author: | Fahey, Brian Carr |
| Abstract: | This thesis presents a reflection on directing There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by examining the relationship between the production and community engagement developed for it . It details the process of connecting theatre for young audiences (TYA ) and community engagement and discusses how the project that resulted inspired a dialogue concerning bullying . This document addresses these questions : What is the relationship between TYA and community engagement and how can they be closely connected ? How can community engagement inform the production of a play for young audiences ? This document explores how collaborative partnerships with student audiences and teachers inspired dialogue and influenced production choices . It discusses how participation in multiple community engagement activities resulted in a rich experience for both actors and audience . It includes a discussion about how the work might be translated outside of the university and concludes with reflective practices for connecting TYA and community engagement . |
