Course Description
‘Til Death
Do Us Part' is a performance written following a series of interviews and
workshops with perpetrators and survivors of domestic abuse. It was take...n
around prisons and aid groups working with both survivors and perpetrators as a
means of understanding reactions, responses, behaviours and attitudes. It has
been used to educate people of the complexities involved in domestic abuse, the
many and varied forms it can take and also works with concepts of prevention.
As a theatre workshop it is used to train in the many aspects and facets of
Theatre of the Oppressed in performance. In this workshop you will find
yourself immersed in applied theatre in action and learn what makes these kinds
of plays so different, so memorable and so effective. In this way you will see
firsthand how this new and innovative approach has been used in practice.

a place please email George Fearnehough (Theatre teacher, IST)
