Assertiveness
Interactive Forum Theatre Workshop
The
workshop presents and explores a range of situations and stories in a relaxed
and non-threatening atmosphere using the techniques of forum theatre.
'The best thing was the style
and level of involvement. The creative way in which the scenes were played made
it easy to identify each situation and got you involved immediately. The scenes
were extremely effective. Much better than notes or DVDs, they make a lasting
impression. It was also good fun!'
