The pale blue central sphere could represent the community or group identified to work with

The red box frame represents existing structures. The philosophies and agendas held by the society or cultural institutions, policy makers, academics, funding bodies , NGO's and other international agencies.

The outside sphere holds the key to creative artistic solutions, We are surrounded by images sounds and symbols, instincts and aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from this sphere and passing it through the prism effect of the box we can help re-focus it with the participation and cultural needs of the inner sphere, the community.

Small World Theatre's work is informed by and informs the box It also is informed by and informs the community.

In an expanding world of information Small World Theatre projects can help communities to make sense of that information and transform it into commonly held knowledge

"Development should be built around people rather than people around development"

When asked to work with a group that need social inclusion check first who is excluding them, if it is the agency asking you to work with the excluded, you could work with the agency first.

Think about evaluation, who needs it? who wants it? what do they do with it when they get it? who should do it? who should fund it? has it already been done?
