What is applied theatre?

Applied theatre is a form of theatre that goes beyond traditional entertainment and artistic expression to address specific social, cultural, educational, or therapeutic goals. It involves the use of theatrical techniques and principles in various non-traditional settings to engage participants in a creative and often transformative process.
