Description

Theatre and Media for Social Change in Malawi examines contemporary participatory theatre and media as instruments for social transformation across multiple domains, including education, prisoner rehabilitation, gender equality, mental health support and climate action.

This book explores contemporary Malawian practices combining research-based, NGO-led and community-driven theatre and media initiatives for social change. It embraces a broad definition of theatre—including development theatre, participatory art, community and prison theatre, street performances, folk media and dance—alongside various media formats from edutainment to digital platforms. Contributors analyse applications across health, gender, education, environment, community development, migration, disaster response and governance through scholarly articles, case studies and reflections, all examining how these creative approaches drive social transformation in Malawian communities.

This collection will particularly appeal to students and researchers in Theatre and Media Studies, especially those specialising in Theatre for Development, Edutainment, Digital Media, Development Communication, Participatory Research Methodologies, Disability Theatre and Arts-Based Activism.
