| Abstract | In this article, we take a strength-based approach to understand how applied theatre as a vehicle provides opportunities for embodied voices to have a positive influence on the well-being, and attitudes to health, of young people who have been ‘pushed’ to the margins. We begin by explaining the concepts of well-being, embodiment and embodied voices, and applied theatre. Following this we explore an example of a theatre project developed in Canada with Indigenous youth to illustrate how the well-being of those who might be termed ‘marginalised’ in this context, is enhanced through a process of embodied reflexivity using applied theatre approaches. Finally, we discuss challenges with this approach to working with ‘marginalised’ youth, and also present some recommendations for professionals using applied theatre for co-creation with ‘marginalised’ youth for their well-being.We share how our research led us to conclude that a commitment to the arts as a fundamental and core process for developing wellness and wellbeing is necessary. This would mean professionals associated with any programmes or projects generated to explore embodied work with young people need see the arts as a philosophical underpinning, rather than as just an additional activity that can be inserted into any programme. © 2017 SEBDA. |
Embodied voices: using applied theatre for co-creation with marginalised youth. In the partnership the arts are used to develop participants relationships in the physical intellectual social/emotional and spiritual domains in accordance with an Indigenous holistic view of health and well-being. Through applied theatre techniques involving theatre games the youth engaged in embodied reexivity; connecting mind and body to create and explore how the choices they make aect their well-being to create imaginative blueprints for possible future choices. The workshop information was sent to the school administrator who was enthusiastic about the workshop. What emerges The meaning created therefore emerges through the theatre games as they create a culturally safe space; a necessary condition for the sharing of stories and embodied action.
