Empowering Community: Theatre of the Opressed as a Tool of Homelessness People´s Emancipation
Original language description
In the chapter we describe a process and outcomes of a research project which aimed to find out knowledge about “social housing“ for those who are poor, and how we can co-produce, within what action strategies, such knowledge. We take pedagogy of the oppressed as a theoretical grounding. We chose emancipatory action research as a research design, specifically theatre of the oppressed as a participatory methodology that can be used for knowledge co-production. In the text, we introduce screenplay of theatrical performance “Having Home Means Being Housed!”. Further, we identified issues concerning those who live in poverty in flats as a central theme. Specific action strategies were co-developed while performing the play. Key common issues identified within them were decisions not to give up, building solidarity and making the problem public. In the final part of the chapter we discuss using theatre of the oppressed as a tool of empowering marginalised communities.
