This module examines how cultural interventions are used in areas of social development in local, national and international contexts. We will examine how performance has been used to address issues which may include education, health, sexuality, gender, race, migration, disability and social exclusion. We will consider case studies of theatre and performance work in action, theoretical frames to examine them and current debates which inform and impact upon the field.
