  • Co-creating social change through theatre: A Conversation with Robin Davidson & Ali Clinch

    Co-creating social change through theatre: A Conversation with Robin Davidson & Ali Clinch
    Jul 27 2023
    How can we use theatre to create spaces for authentic dialogue, empathy and seeing from new perspectives? Spaces where people can play together, create together and take action on issues of personal and social importance? Find out in this episode of Collaboratory Conversations, where we bring you an edited interview with Canberra-based theatre company, Rebus Theatre. Speaking with Robin Davidson and Ali Clinch, we explore: How Rebus use a variety of applied theatre methods, including Forum Theatre and Playback Theatre, to influence social change and why they can be so effective at helping to change mindsets, attitudes and ultimately behaviours, of audience membersHow using applied theatre methods can foster spaces where people feel seen, heard and understood, which then can then lead to more authentic co-creationThe intentional practices and mindsets Rebus use to scaffold people's participation, and what difference that makes to both the process and outcomes of their shows Transcript To ensure accessibility we are committed to providing transcripts of all our podcast episodes - you can read the full transcript here. Resources Forum Theatre, developed by Brazilian theatre director Agosto Boal, is a form of applied theatre in which audience members are active participants in how the story is played out. Playback Theatre is another form of applied theatre in which audience members tell stories from their own lives and watch as actors and musicians enact them in the show. Access all areas is Rebus' Workplace Accessibility and Inclusion Training program that uses Forum Theatre to help workplaces, communities and service providers feel more equipped and at ease in assisting customers, employees and clients with disability. Flair - The Rebus program in which people with disability and lived experience of mental ill health devise an original performance. The Beauty Thief was the 2021 show that was produced as part of this program. What if Scientists Ruled the World? was a Rebus production in 2021 that used the Forum Theatre method to engage the audience in an intriguing alternate world where science just might save humanity, or destroy it, depending on how it is used.

  • Exploring Cultural Governance

    Exploring Cultural Governance
    Jun 29 2023
    The word ‘governance’ can take on many different meanings and be used in various contexts, whether that be corporate, organisational or cultural. In this episode, we give particular attention to First Nations perspectives of cultural governance and discuss how the concept of cultural governance, whilst sometimes misunderstood, is one that can support collaboration across difference. Our guests Wayne Barker, Doyen Radcliffe, Sharon Babyack and David Lilley explore topics including: Their understanding of cultural governance and the governance structures of the organisations that they work at – the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre (KALACC), Collaboration for Impact and Community First DevelopmentThe idea of ‘right way governance’ which involves understanding and respecting the structures and decision-making processes within First Nations communities in addition to the idea of ‘bridging governance’ – where First Nation governance practices intersect with Western governance requirements.How ‘good’ cultural governance is malleable and recognises the importance of establishing structures and processes which help us build and maintain trusting relationshipsThe skills that can help with navigating governance in practice such as emotional intelligence and deep listening.
