| Abstract | This paper is motivated by Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health; and Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. It is driven by a community research visit focused on a Water Sanitation and Health Paradigm (WASH) project carried out in Ulunya-Ovoko community in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria. The researchers adopted Theatre for Development and Health Humanities methodologies and Albert Bandura’s Social learning theory as the theoretical framework. The study explored indigenous practices like masquerading, songs, dances, idioms, storytelling, and oratory to create effective communication models that connected with community members and involved them in changing their narratives. Data was primarily gathered through In-depth Interviews (II) Key Informant Interviews (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Findings revealed that discovered health problems were associated with political conflicts and showed the willingness of community members to become catalysts and strong advocates of positive change through collaborative community effort. The paper recommends interventionist theatre approaches that exploit indigenous performance forms towards finding sustainable solutions to problems associated with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in local communities like Ulunya-Ovoko. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
