Ethics


Ethics Statement
Our ethics govern our attitudes and actions. In Raw Theatre our ethics must reflect our desire to portray roles, situations and relationships with integrity, empathy and compassion in a non-judgemental framework.

Within such a framework practitioners of Raw Theatre are committed to scholarly inquiry and creative practice as research through critical self-reflection and reflective practice. We hold a mirror up to life to explore more closely, more of what is only seen in glimpses.

In Raw Theatre the facilitator is guided by a deep conviction to the value of the advancement of human understanding through role-play, story telling and the sharing of story. The primary responsibility to the participants of RT is to seek out relevant stories and examine these stories in such a way that is most beneficial to the participant’s personal desire, learning advancement and enjoyment.

As a teacher, the facilitator demonstrates respect for each participant’s right to participate at any level they deem most beneficial. The facilitator respects the confidential nature of the relationship and will always protect participant’s freedom to choose to share or not to share personal material.


Participants of The Raw Theatre Workshop have a responsibility to one another for the respect, interpretation and presentation of story material derived within the workshop. Participants affirm their commitment to be respectful and sensitive to one another's stories and are committed to an ethical portrayal of characters named within the role-play.
