Syrian refugees, applied theater, workshop facilitation, and stories: while they were waiting

Abstract

"This book analyses and theorizes the efficacy of using applied theatre as a tool to address refugee issues of displacement, trauma, adjustment, and psychological wellbeing in addition to split community belonging. Fadi Skeiker connects refugee narratives to the themes of imagination, home, gender, and conservatism, among others. Each chapter outlines the author's applied theatre practice, as a Syrian, with and for Syrian refugees in the countries of Jordan, Germany, and the United States. This book will be of great interest to scholars, students and practitioners of applied theatre studies and refugee studies."--
