Third-Way Theatre works to address issues in the context of the social; focusing on communities that experience stigma and discrimination. The theatre methods assist in unpacking moments in which we encounter violence, ignorance, hatred, INJUSTICE. These moments are collectively explored by participants and performed to community audiences thereby 'breaking the silence and naming the unspoken'. In voicing moments of struggle, together the actors and audiences engage in reflection to devise strategies for understanding, action and change.
Third-Way Theatre's hopes is to open up spaces that contribute to an understanding of "how we are shaped, but not determined by, history" by offering social opportunities to insert the stories of what is often hidden, what is often denied, in order to ask the important questions as a community, about what we can do to Act '4' Change.
This work provides new and emergent ways of resurrecting truths, insights and possibilities through facilitating deep listening within the process and the performance. An act that is vital in dreaming new ways to be present, enabling different futures.
