About

The KA2  TheArThee” (TAT)  explores the inclusive potential of theatre and performing arts as a methodology to create opportunity, learn new skills, enhance communication and dispel prejudice against young people facing social exclusion. This will be achieved by sharing of best practise and skills exchange from cross sector organisations working in the field of youth empowerment and alternative learning.

The project will explore how theatre can be used as a tool to bring elements of society together to empower young people regardless of class, race, gender and perceived disabilities and abilities. The project complements the focus on youth exclusion with additional attention to physical and cognitive impairment. TAT deploys an intervention on the skills-related and emotional dimension of excluded young people’s plight through exploring the educational, integrational, and creative dimension of devised theatre.

Devised theatre is conceived as an original approach to the theatrical production entailing a peer-to-peer process of co-operation between a group of co-creators in the achievement of a final artistic product. The non-hierarchical nature of the co-creation process is designed to give each individual voice a determining role over the outcome of the process, thereby ensuring the full ownership of the creative process by each individual co-creator.
