Om Multisensory Shakespeare and Specialized Communities

How can theatre and Shakespearean performance be used with different communities to assist personal growth and development, while advancing social justice goals? Employing an integrative approach that draws from science, actor training, therapeutical practices and current research on the senses, this study reveals the work being done by drama practitioners with a range of specialized populations, such as incarcerated people, neurodiverse individuals, those with physical or emotional disabilities, veterans, persons labeled 'rough sleepers' and many others. With insights drawn from visits to numerous international programs, it argues that these endeavors succeed when they engage all five human senses and incorporate kinesthetic learning, thereby tapping into the diverse benefits associated with artistic, movement, and mindfulness practices. Neither theater nor Shakespeare is universally beneficial, but the syncretic practices described in this book offer tools for physical, emotional, and collaborative undertakings that assist personal growth and development, while advancing social justice goals. Among the practitioners and companies whose work is examined here are programs from the Shakespeare in Prison Network, the International Opera Theater, Blue Apple Theatre, Flute Theatre, DeCruit and Feast of Crispian programs for veterans, Extant Theatre and prison programs in Kolkata and Mysore, India.
