Applied Theatre for victims of trauma

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 8 September 2017

One of the many guests at the Going West Books and Writers Festival is Professor of Education, Peter O'Connor, who works with trauma victims, prisoners and troubled school children to address their problems through the medium of theatre.

He gets people to act out their stories in character, as a way to talk about issues to painful to talk about in their own voices.
