Translating research findings into community based theatre: More than a dead man's wife
2013, Journal of Aging StudiesCitation Excerpt :When examining methods of knowledge translation, a reevaluation of the literature revealed a small but emerging body of work that described the value of theatre as a means of communicating and mirroring life and as a community development and communication tool (Benthall, 1996; Gray, Fitch, LaBrecque, & Greenberg, 2003). The literature also included examples of theatre as a most appropriate means for health promotion (Mbizvo, 2006) which has been defined as “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health” as well as empowerment through information dissemination to communities with poor literacy skills (World Health Organization, 1986, p. 1). Theatre has also been a traditional way of educating and informing communities in different geographic, socioeconomic and cultural settings and communicating ideas in disciplines such as international relief aid, refugee studies, education and anthropology (Benthall, 1996).
