Theatre for development praxis has evolved various models that are currently being adopted by practitioners the world over. The protean nature of the practice suggests the need to focus attention on paradigms that work in peculiar situations. Many of the models, having been developed in conflict-free situations, may not be quite effective in a conflict environment. In an effort to work in a volatile conflict environment, CILTAD/Agoro in Ghana sought and employed a method that effectively addressed the situation and created the necessary conditions for dialogue. This article examines the CILTAD/Agoro method of theatre for development; this is a method dubbed ‘shuttle theatre for development,’ which can be replicated or modified in other conflict situations
