Actor, character, and the political in Nola Chilton's documentary theatre
This article focuses on the unique documentary theatre of Nola Chilton, an American-born theatre director and acting educator in Israel.

Yes, you can’
This article presents a singular historical moment in which the ethnic counter-theatre of the 1970s in Jerusalem, which had emerged out of the Hapanterim Hashchorim (Black Panthers) social movement, generated another social movement. This offers a particular example of a grassroots theatre that directly affected and intervened in the complex social reality in Israel at that time. Moreover, this theatre planned and implemented a unique form of act…

In order to introduce community theatre as a particular alternative mnemonic practice within margina…

Community-based theatre in Israel is a means for individual and social empowerment. But who really owns these theatrical means of production—the community, the artists, or the sponsors
Carnivalesque Enactment at the Children's Medical Centre of Rabin Hospital
In 1995, a drama project was carried out at the Rabin Children's Medical Centre by students from the Community and Educational Theatre Unit of Tel-Aviv University. In presenting this unique theatrical event, I would like to focus on a special mode of acting, that I define as 'carnivalesque enactment'. Although Carnival as a cultural phenomenon has become a research topic attracting many scholars from various fields, the uniqueness of the performi…
