Questions working towards my final project

So I almost certain that my final project will be based on issue based theatre. My actual line of inquiry- and what questions I want to ask and answer is still blury. However I have created a questionnaire and have pilotted this questionnaire with numerous members of staff at the Chickenshed Theatre Company, who have all been involved with Chickenshed issue based theatre work in one way or another.

These are my questions, feed back and critsim welcome so that i can improve it and then send it out to a much wider target group;

  1. What does issue based theatre mean to you?                                                     
  2. Do you think issue based theatre is effective?   Yes    if so why                    No  if not why              
  3. Chickenshed has tackled many issues over the years using issue based theatre as the medium between Chickenshed and various target groups. Has there been any contraversy atttached to any of these pieces?                                                                                                    
  4. What three issues do you believe can be most effectively challenged using issue based theatre? (Consider factors such as contravery, ethic, causing offence, and how genuwine it is, please circle 3) Racism, Sexual Abuse, Knife Crime, Rape, Murder, Domestic Violence, Peodophilla, Sex Trafficing, Prison System, Mental Health, War Replecation of real events, Cancer and Politics
  5. Rate your own personal belief on the effectiveness of issue based theatre from 0% (not effective) to 100% (eniterely effective)                                              
  6. Should you prevent issue based theatre becoming too artistically creative?   Yes    No
Why?                                                                    


The layout of this is much better when on paper im just not very good on work to be able to do it now. Ive also started on the ethics regarding my possible project which it proving harder than I originally expected.

Please let me know what you think

  1. Jojo It would be good for you to do some more work on your inquiry questions. What do you want to know as a practitioner about issues based theatre? What are some examples - within and outside of the Chickenshed theatre? How do you want to apply your practice? In education?
