develop a drama (role-play) of about 10 minutes that shows Limmy’s life. The drama should show<br />
various times in Limmy’s life when violence was committed against her and respond to the following<br />
questions:<br />
■ What were her parents like?<br />
■ How did her family treat her?<br />
■ What opportunities were open to her?<br />
■ What opportunities were denied to her?<br />
■ What happened when she became a teenager?<br />
■ What was her personal life like with Philipo?<br />
3. Ask the second group to develop Philipo’s story. Based on the story, the participants can develop a<br />
drama of about 10 minutes showing incidents that led to Philipo’s violence against Limmy. The<br />
drama should answer the following questions:<br />
■ What was his life like when he was a child?<br />
■ What was his parent’s relationship like?<br />
■ What led to him becoming violent?<br />
■ How did his violence against Limmy start?<br />
■ What prevented him from changing his behaviour?<br />
Part C – Performing and Discussing Drama (1hr)<br />
1. Ask the first group to act out their story while the second group observes as the audience.<br />
2. Ask the first group to act out the drama again, but this time the audience can interrupt. Whenever an<br />
audience member sees violence, they can clap and the action will stop. The clapper has to come<br />
and take the place of the identified actor and demonstrates (by acting it out) how the person could<br />
behave differently to prevent violence. When the specific action is complete, the original actors<br />
continue with performing the drama until another audience member identifies a different situation<br />
where violence could be prevented. The audience can discuss the proposed alternatives and even<br />
suggest other ways of preventing violence in a similar situation.<br />
3. Repeat with the second group’s drama.<br />
4. Discuss how drama can help us identify violent behaviour and learn practical ways of taking action.<br />
