Abstract
At the heart of any theatre practice that is committed to social justice is a commitment to the values and practices of social justice in its making and expressions. These values of inclusion, equitable distribution, rules freely accepted, the right of argument and choice are also the core values of an authentic democracy (Castoriadis 1983). When groups of people come together to make and share theatre that both models and exposes social justice they engage within a temporary culture often spatially symbolised by a circle. The circle challenges hierarchical relationships of power, encourages participation and dialogue and does not artificially separate participants into actors and spectators of action. In this chapter I want to argue that a democratic and participatory theatre for social justice shares both the values and the characteristics of participatory democratic politics and social forms of play in childhood.
