Videos: Integrating Participatory Theatre and Walking Methods

The following clips show examples of how we brought together theatre and walking methods to methodologically innovate.

Clip: Integrating Methods: From Walking to Soundscapes

This is an extract from a workshop where we recreated the sounds from their walks in the park and gym. The sounds also reflect on the way the walks prompted memories of places they grew up in.

Clip: Integrating Methods: From Walking to Images to Final Scenes

This is an extract from the NRPF group. One of the participants took us to the social services department on our shared walk as this is an important place for her. She then took a photo there and presented it to the group in the ensuing reflection session. We recreated the sounds and the space of the social services department through theatre exercises in the workshop. This scene was so important that we subsequently used it in the final public performances at the Policy Day, the conference and the House of Commons.
