| Title | An Art-based Participatory Action Research Project and its Effects on Marginalized Actors One Marginalized Helping the Other |
| Summary | This thesis analyses a Hungarian participatory theater project and its effects on marginalized amateur Roma actors. The examined case is a play by the Káva Drama/Theatre in Education Association and the Parforum Részvételi Műhely (Parforum Participatory Workshop) in collaboration with six young amateur Roma actors. The topic of the play, entitled ‘Elveszettek – The Missing Moment’, is based on the dichotomy of activity and passivity. The thesis focuses on the socio-political changes which the amateur Roma actors went through as participants in the play. Drawing on narrative interviews with the Roma actors, I argue that participatory theater, as a social institution, creates feelings of community and, moreover, thanks to the close relationships formed during the process of studying drama allows for new forms of active citizenship to be developed. |
