Advice or assistance is welcome!

Making theatre is a dynamic learning process. If you have any experiences, advice or suggestions you would like to share with us, please don’t hesitate make contact.

At present the theatre teams don’t have their own office or phone in their villages, so the people to contact are the advisors currently assisting the teams with technical and administrative matters, who will pass all information and inquiries directly on the theatre teams and pass the teams response on to you. Hopefully, the teams will soon have the facilities to run the project by themselves.

In Germany, she has trained and supported adult and youth projects in creating theatre based on their own experiences.
