IDEAS FOR USING DRAMA TO TEACH ABOUT HEALTH
1. The value of homemade, open-ended drama
In this chapter we describe in detail some ‘skits’ that have been performed
by health workers and villagers. But it is not our hope that any of these will be
repeated as such. They are examples of how groups of health workers, mothers,
and children can create their own performances.
Those who present a play or skit will learn twice as much if they also take
part in creating or writing it. The story can be developed from the actual ideas
and experiences of the participants. The group must invent the story and figure
out how to present local problems in a convincing way. This helps them develop
skills in planning, thinking, problem solving, organizing, and communicating. All
these extra benefits are lost when students simply memorize a script written by
someone else.
2. Encouraging people to speak in their own words (not memorize parts)
Speaking in public is not easy for many health workers and villagers. Often
the poor are used to remaining silent in village meetings, while a select few do
the talking and make the decisions. At first, health workers-in-training may be
embarrassed to speak or play act in front of a group. Too shy to say things in their
own words, they will often prefer to memorize the words of someone else. This
takes more work, but seems safer. They feel less exposed.
However, the ability to stand up and state one’s own thoughts with confidence
is an extremely important skill—especially for those who would speak for the
‘voiceless poor’. So encourage health workers to use their own words in role plays
rather than simply parroting lines they have memorized.
But go slowly. Help people gain confidence little by little. Start with role plays in
the classroom or with a small group in which everyone takes part. This way there
is no audience. Or rather, all are actors and audience at the same time. As the
students become more confident, they can begin to do presentations for larger
groups.
BEFORE
AFTER
Taking part in role
playing and people’s
theater helps the
‘voiceless poor’ gain
confidence, courage,
and skill to speak
their thoughts.
