Debra Do Dey O!



The second Interact video comes from two of Theatre for Change's youngest facilitators, Amanda Enusha and Forster Gamashie, both 15 years old. Their video postcard goes to Debra Glazer, Schools Practitioner at Hampstead Theatre in North London.

Forster and Amanda both started out with Theatre for a Change as participants at Theatre for a Change's Community Theatre Centre in James Town in 2003. They have acted in numerous Interactive Theatre performances in the local community and both became practitioners in 2007.

Their workshops take place at the same time on a Saturday afternoon. Both have groups of up to twenty young people - many of whom are the same age or older than them. Last Saturday they experimented with combining their workshop: a difficult task in the relatively small space available at CTC.

This video was recorded at Theatre for a Change's office in South Labadi - the first time that Amanda had been to the hub of TfaC's operations in Ghana. After shooting the video we ran a small training session on using the internet and set Amanda up with a brand new email address.

Debra's response to the video should appear on this site by Friday 16th November.
