EDUCATHE (short for) Educational Theatre as the place for overcoming discrimination of people with disablities is an international theatre workshop that aims to transfer practical knowledge for working with the disabled by means of theatre. Since both disabled and non-disabled individuals will participate in the workshop, we will actively search for actions that have the potential for overcoming p
rejudice in real life. The workshop will end with a joint public performance created by the disabled and non-disabled alike. This performance will advocate values of solidarity, inclusion and respect for people with disabilities. The workshop follows the stages of tribal initiation (rites de passage), as described by Victor Turner:
1) Separation stage: form roles, norms and values
2) Liminal stage: transitional or limbo phase in which we will explore our everyday roles
3) Reincorporation stage: participants reunite with their everyday lives – but! – enriched with the
workshop experiences)
