We are ridiculously thrilled to have introduced Forum Theatre to Mongolia!

In December 2018, we were contracted by German NGO The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH or GIZ to work in Ulan Bator, Mongolia for 10 days. We were tasked with creating theatre that dealt with the severe social and economic issues that are rife in the country due to its informal employment crisis.

Tracy Holsinger spent 3 days teaching Forum Theatre and the principles of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed to the Artistic Director and actors from the Erdeniin San theatre group. Over the next 5 days, she crafted two original plays based on true stories that were performed at the GIZ headquarters to invited audiences.
