17th Drama for Life Conference and Festival
The conference takes place under the theme: HUMAN CHANGE! from global ideals to justice(us)?
The conference and festival will run simultaneously in the Chris Seabrooke Music Hall and surround venues from the 8th to the 10th of October.
At a time of profound political instability, social dislocation, climate emergency, and escalating authoritarianism across the globe, what does it mean to be human now, and how must we change? In response to these upheavals, we turn toward the applied arts and arts therapies not just for solace, but for radical reimagination.
Each selected conference and festival presentation and or performance explores how Applied Drama and Theatre, Expressive Arts Therapies, Movement, Dance, and other embodied and arts-based practices can act as powerful tools for shaping systems, healing trauma, challenging injustice, and envisioning change.
The 17th Drama for Life Conference and Festival is curated to be a space to reflect, resist, remember, and reimagine. To centre Just(Us). To reclaim our collective capacity for human change and justice.
