Theatre for Development in Latin America - advice
Hi everyone, I've just joined up to this so feeling a bit unsteady on my feet! (although excited to find a whole new online community!)
I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I am a Theatre for Development Practitioner based in the UK. I have 4 years experience working in South America (this was when i was a community project worked for children and young people and before I began my TfD career), since then I completed a masters in Theatre and Development Studies, and have my own freelance business here in the UK, for the last 3 years, working with a diverse range of socially excluded groups: refugees and asylum seekers, learning disabled children and adults, youth offenders, survivors of victim and abuse, people with mental health issues, substance misuses, school children, early years...
I am travelling back to Latin America later this year and really really want to do some TfD out there, but not really sure where to start, or transfer my new TfD skills to work overseas. Does anyone have any experience in this field, any contacts, any advice of information, about arts orgs, development agencies which employ TfD workers? - I don't mind working voluntarily to get my foot in the door.
Thanks!
