dc.description.abstractThe paper provides a review of some of the terminologies and definitions of applied theatre, critiques the 'transformative principle' argued for by some applied researchers, and extends this to a discussion on the complex relationship between donor agendas and the politics of intention that contribute to the shaping of applied discourse. (Taylor 2003, 1) The paper goes on to propose a theatre of 'little changes' which eschews big claims of social efficacy, and suggests the need for a discourse which can better articulate an interdependence between the aesthetic imperatives and the possibilities of social engagement.
