Abstract

ABSTRACT Policy proposals about social change and well-being shape the implementation of applied theatre projects through technologies such as evaluation practices and funding applications. Representations of projects can, in turn, effect public discourse about who participants are and why they are or are not ‘being well’. Like public policy, applied theatre for social change has to establish a problem that needs to be solved. Drawing on debates about change in applied theatre literature, we consider how funders, governments, and communities call on applied theatre practitioners to frame particular issues and/or people as problematic. We then examine discourses of well-being in Australia and New Zealand, drawing on policy documents and funding schemes to discuss the politics of change in applied theatre in each country. We consider how the field might navigate policies, technologies and public understandings of well-being, change and social good to produce work with and for participants in neoliberalised contexts.
谁该对此负责?澳大利亚和新西兰关于幸福的新自由主义话语
关于社会变革和福祉的政策建议通过评估实践和资金申请等技术塑造了应用剧院项目的实施。反过来,项目的陈述可以影响公众对参与者是谁以及他们为什么“健康”或“不健康”的讨论。像公共政策一样,社会变革的应用剧场必须建立一个需要解决的问题。借鉴关于应用戏剧文学变化的辩论,我们考虑资助者、政府和社区如何呼吁应用戏剧从业者将特定问题和/或人物视为有问题的。然后,我们研究了澳大利亚和新西兰的福祉话语,利用政策文件和资助计划来讨论每个国家应用戏剧的变革政治。我们将考虑该领域如何引导政策、技术和公众对福祉、变革和社会公益的理解,以便与新自由主义背景下的参与者一起工作。
