Daughters Of Fortune - Anna

Anna is an interactive Forum Theatre piece that explores scenarios that may be experienced by learning-disabled people when they consider being, or become, a parent in a fun and accessible way.

Led by 3 professional learning-disabled performers and a facilitator, Anna presents 4 scenes to audiences, who will then be invited to suggest ways to change the outcome of each situation. Audiences will also get the chance to ‘step in’ and act out the scene themselves to see what would happen.

Anna isn’t about presenting a specific opinion but aims to make complex issues simple, and difficult subject matter accessible.

Forum Theatre is an interactive workshop format that can be described as ‘a rehearsal for real life’. It provides a safe, supportive environment for individuals to explore complex situations that often have no ‘right’ or ‘one size fits all’ answers. Through using theatre, difficult subject matter is made both approachable and fun.
