Do you hate role-play? Forum Theatre could be the answer.

Remember those dreadful words that get said at training events. 'And now we'll do some role-play'. It's almost as bad as when they don't have any biscuits! Well, Forum Theatre may be the answer. You don't have to do the acting - you just watch professional actors do it for you. So instead the lack of control you might feel having to act in an unrealistic situation you can control the action by directing the actors to improve the situation. Of course you can join in as yourself or you could just suggest possibilities from the wings. Altogether a much more involving and fun way to learn.
