Project Phakama, a young people’s theatre company, leads a session of participatory drama and discussion to explore different positions on self-censorship, freedom of expression and causing offence.
Phakama’s young people and tutors work together in the UK and around the world to create trailblazing, risk-taking theatrical events in any location with any young person who wants to take part. Phakama’s process, based on the ‘give and gain’ principle, establishes creative equality among everyone and puts the imaginative engagement of different cultures at the core of all activities.
In association with the performance of ‘Behud’ at Soho Theatre, this enjoyable and revealing session will provide a forum for a wider investigation into the themes of the play.
