Social Performing Arts in Venezuela

Social performing arts explores a collaborative process of theatre creation for the positive development of young people. This process is essentially a complex series of interactions between students and theatre facilitators who negotiate and work towards a shared vision: to learn circus, dance, and theatre to create an original work in a short time and present it to the community firsthand.

By creating a carefully planned collective work, theatre opens up opportunities for positive development for young people. The authors theorize a development model for collaborative theatre creation and its impact on young people from vulnerable communities.
