APPLIED & INTERACTIVE T h e a t r e G u i d e

Training and Development

There are many training and development opportunities for people who want to work in the various applied and interactive theatre formats described throughout this website. Training organizations range from short workshops organized by specialized theatre companies to full-featured university degrees.

On a different level of training and development, some professional theatre groups use Forum Theater techniques, Sociometry, improvisation, role-playing, or other techniques covered by the Applied and Interactive Theatre Guide to specialize in human dynamics and/or human resource training for corporate or organizational development. Some groups have been especially active in international settings.
