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.
