This Is Where We Live

Community theatre, site-specific theatre, and their plausible contribution to drama in education and children's or youth theatre are in the main focus of the thesis. It summarizes the roots and background of both of these fringe theatre paths, introduces their main objectives and representatives. A more detailed description of several community theatre groups and site-specific projects is also included. Apart from the theoretical introduction, the paper follows the individual principles and complex ideas within these two alternative theatre approaches from a practical perspective; it includes a structured project plan based on connection and mutual inspiration of community theatre, sitespecific and drama in education principles. The thesis also aims at capturing wider potential of fusion of these attitudes to theatre and the society, and suggests its contribution not only in the field of drama in education, but also within contemporary performing arts and community life in general.

The aim of this thesis is to present different ways of audience participation that are applied in contemporary theatre practice. The introductory section outlines the issues of engaging the audience in relation to conventional theatrical practice. Subsequently I give a historical overview of important artists of the 20th century, whose work significantly influenced the contemporary perception of possible ways of audience participation in the field of theatre work. In the central part, based on chosen theatre practitioners from the 20th and 21st centuries, I show specific ways of involving the spectator. The final chapter outlines the theoretical discussion of interactive theatre in relation to the concept of aesthetic distance.
