Practicing Democracy

In March 2004, Headlines Theatre invites Vancouver residents to make community-based law through interactive theatre. The issue on the table? Civic responses to welfare cuts.

Homelessness and other problems that arise from current and future welfare policies in BC are having a profound impact in homes, workplaces and on our streets. Desiring to respond in a way that is both practical and innovative, Headlines approached City Council with an idea for using theatre to create community-based law. On February 27, 2003 Vancouver City Council unanimously passed their endorsement for and involvement in Practicing Democracy.

This audience-interactive production will be created and performed by people living the issues. At the performances, the creative solutions that audience members offer during the interactive Forum Theatre events will form the basis of a Legal Expert's Report which will go to Vancouver City Council and then be part of their discussions on civic policy. This is a chance for people to use theatre to communicate with Government and define civic law.



When: March 3rd -21st, 2004
Where: Three locations in Vancouver, TBA
Tickets: By donation
More info: www.headlinestheatre.com
