Interactive Theatre is a presentational style
that breaks the "fourth wall" separating performer and audience both physically and verbally.
In
traditional theater, performance is limited to a designated stage area and the action of the play unfolds without any interplay
with audience members, who function as passive observers. Conversely, in interactive theater, performance may happen amidst
audience members, and often involves the audience in more active roles. They may be asked to hold props, supply performance
suggestions (as in improvisational theatre), share the action's real-world (non-theatrical) setting (as in environmental theatre),
or become characters in the performance.In addition the audience may be asked to participate in altering the course of the
play altogether by taking part in a collective vote to help steer the plot in a new direction. In therapeutic and educational
settings, the audience may even be invited to discuss pertinent issues with the performers. Society for Community Development
used to perform issue based theatre.
SCD has organized theatre on the issues of education, women rights,
child rights, labor rights, farmer’s rights, minority’s rights, peace and interfaith harmony, water, stress, Indo-
Pak relations and so on.
