What is social theatre?

Social Theatre is a means to build communities around social justice and change, through the use of theatre. It is an umbrella term, including such concepts as theatre for development, theatre in conflict zones, theatre in prisons,  theatre of the oppressed, applied theatre in education, protest theatre, theatre for human rights (focused around a community's rights awareness and advocacy), clown doctoring, socially engaged puppetry, and many more.
Definitions vary in length and detail, but my go-to answer is: we work with communities who are not professional theatre makers, in settings that are not traditionally associated with theatre. I work on the streets, in community centres, schools, hospitals, refugee camps, migrant rights centres, prisons.
