Promoting health with live performance (pdf 375kb)

This manual showcases the methodology of a South India community theatre organisation developed to assist people who are working on community-based health promotion projects. It can be used by civil society organisations and performance groups to develop and enhance projects that require a mass communication strategy, especially among semi-literate and illiterate people living in difficult to reach communities.

It aims to encourage a collaborative approach among community members, performance groups and health promotion practitioners, ensuring a successful combination of accurate health and social messages and audience engagement and satisfaction.
