Forum-theatre (77)
Forum-theater is an innovative method of work aimed at solving social problems through theatrical performances. The Youth Forum-Theater of the Fund "Sukhumi" has been working since 2009 and conducts performances on topical issues (conflicts, violence) in 4 regions of Western Georgia (Imereti, Samegrelo, Guria, Adjara).
The Theater of Shadows held two performances in Tskaltubo Municipality - in kindergarten No. 4 and in the kindergarten of the village of Partkhanakanevi. The play "Pirimze" was shown. The children were very cheerful. They saw that everyone should be equal, and friendship always defeats evil.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot

Youth forum-theatre conducted performances in the central park of Tskaltubo. Attendants refused to take a photo, but they were involved in the discussion and expressed their position. After the performance they got interested in the origin of such scenes and actively spoke with the actors. It was noted that the scenes are real and presented in the original way.
In January there were held two performances of the forum-thetare in Kutaisi – Park of Love and in Tskaltubo – School No3.
Performances of the forum-theatre under the open air are too effective, passers by stop and watch with interest, but also important are the discussions with schoolchildren.
Everyone liked the forum-theatre in Tskaltubo and expressed a will to form similar theatre.
June 1 - International Children's Day. In this day, the theater of shadows at the forum-theater of the Fund "Sukhumi" came to visit kindergarten "Varsklavavebi" (stars). For children it was a real holiday - they first saw such a performance. Young actors congratulated the kids on the children's day.
Teachers, director, parents were spectators, who after the first stage of the forum-theater actively joined the discussion. They frankly began to talk about their problems. In total, 6 scenes were shown. In three scenes the teacher and the parent played the role of the victim, and offered the viewers the versions for solving the problem. Their inclusion made a presentation of the forum theater particularly fruitful in the school of the village Koki (Zugdidi municipality).
Kutaisi, park of love. Six performances of the forum-theatre, interesting environment, inclusion of the audience, active discussions, adoption, analysis, telling own histories.
Activeness of the audience was felt after each performance, but the scene of mother and son had a greater influence.
Six shows of the forum-theater of the Fund "Sukhumi" with interesting discussions and stories were shown in the central park of Senaki. After the scene, built on the conflict between mother and daughter, the discussion lasted more than 20 minutes. This is how the viewers express their interest in the forum theater and the questions posed to them.

The performances of the forum-theatre.
The performances of the forum-theatre become more and more interesting for th society.
In the central park of Senaki there were held presentations of forum-theatre. First of all nobody joined the young actors, but the audience gathered step by step.
A scene of domestic violence caused a lot of noise. Most of the audience said that this rarely happens in life - but actors and director disagreed.
It was interesting to know the opinion of people, since it was the first performance in the center of Senaki.
