The aims of this group are:
The Applied Theatre Research Group brings together people who have developed a shared interest in the uses of applied theatre in research and education. It in part grew out of work carried out for the SASPI (Southern Africa Stroke Prevention Initiative) by Dr Maria Stuttaford and Professor Gillian Hundt after collaborating with Claudette Bryanston on methodologies and approach to using participatory theatre. The project used community theatre and storytelling at village meetings in order to disseminate and validate the research findings from this project.
