Celebrated as an outstanding conceptual dance piece on the one hand and harshly criticised for being a contemporary freak show on the other, 'Disabled Theater' by Jerome Bel and Theater Hora polarises the public. In either case, the production raises central questions on the role of people with cognitive differences in our society, as well as on basic norms and conventions of theatre and dance. This book takes 'Disabled Theater' as a springboard to a broader discussion on theatre and disability at the intersections of politics and aesthetics, inclusion and exclusion, virtuosity and dilettantism, identity and empowerment.

The book is divided into thematic sections, each opening with an essay addressing a range of questions about the benefits, challenges, and learning opportunities of a particular type of applied theatre.

Each section then ends with a moderated roundtable discussion between the essays’ authors, further exploring the themes, issues, and ideas that they have introduced. With its accessible format and clear language, Applied Theatre with Youth is a valuable resource for theatre practitioners and the growing number of theatre companies with education and community engagement programs. Additionally, it provides essential reading for teachers and students in a myriad of fields: education, theatre, civic engagement, criminal justice, sociology, women and gender studies, environmental studies, disability studies, ethnicity and race studies.

A practical guide for therapeutic decision-making. The Drama Therapy Decision Tree unites therapy interventions with diagnostic information, individual and group processes, psychological distance, the drama therapy pie, and global outcomes. Rather than using a standardized protocol that makes the decisions for the therapist, drama therapy is based on dynamic, embodied, creative action with participants in the here and now. Conscious planning on the part of the drama therapist before the session supports spontaneity and creativity, preparing them to make good therapeutic decisions in the moment during the session. The authors strive to provide a common language for communicating what drama therapists do and how they do it in order to demystify drama therapy for other mental health and medical professionals. Using the decision tree as a guide, early career drama therapists can move forward confidently and ground their work with participants in an integrated system.
