The basic principles of Forum Theatre:
• It transforms the passive and responsive viewer into a protagonist of the dramatic action, into subject and transformer.
• Doesn’t try to content the viewer with a simple reflection of the past but to prepare him for the future; doesn’t simply present the reality. It also transforms it.
• In order to be efficient, Forum Theatre requires intense practice, not only once or twice. It should be regarded as a social action or politics on a large scale.
• For an intense practice of Forum Theatre, people should understand that the artistic activity is a natural gift of all men, children and women. We must accept the fact that all people are capable of playing forum theatre but we can’t all do it with the same brightness.
• It’s requires the topic performed on the stage to be real, true and with a certain degree of emergency for the community where it is used.
• The utilization of Forum Theatre in the communitarian, social and political activities involves from the beginning the users’ desire to make a change in better.
