The term Empatheatre
comes from our collaborative work in sculpting new social spaces that act as amphitheaters for empathy.
A space for reflexive deep listening in society over a public concern, that contributes to participatory justice
in decision making, meaning making and solidarity building across societal spheres.
Empatheatre is a research-based, theatre-making methodology that emerged from friendship and solidarity between artists, academic researchers and responsive citizens. The process begins with
extensive action-based research
in which co-participants and key partners work to
identify matters of concern and a pressing central question.
