The purpose of the study is to investigate the manner in which performance can facilitate communication amongst family members in dealing with the challenges facing families in which there is a member with ‘special needs’. Special needs range from problems of mental or emotional anguish, care, disability or chronic illnesses. My interest in this study is on how these special needs impact on the functioning of the family and family dynamics. Theatrical representation and audience participation is at the heart of exploring the empowering role of applied theatre to engage family members in expressing their difficulties and discussing their issues together. 2015-06-29T07:52:00Z 2015-06-29T07:52:00Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13165 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
