Group 4 Immersion with Motions and Frasca

“This is why the process [of the forum play] is repeated several times, always offering a new perspective on the subject. In Boal's (1992) own words: "It is more important to achieve good debate than a good solution." It is central to stress that Boal uses theater as a tool. not as a goal per se. In other words, the ultimate objective of Forum Theater plays is not to produce beautiful or enjoyable performances, but rather to promote critical discussions among the participants. Unlike traditional theater that offers just one complete, dosed sequence of actions, Forum Theater sessions show multiple perspectives on a particular problem.” (Frasca 89)

 Monse: "Frasca talks about the different perspectives offered in games. In "Motions" it displays a personal perspective where they start questioning whether or not they deserved the beatings while image ABC was more informing about what was happening."
Kelsey: "You are able to see both sides of stories through the news point of view of "trafficked or smuggled" whilst also seeing the inside point of view of another person's thoughts regarding beatings."
Shula: " In the beginning of the game we are playing through the perspective of a person that is unknowingly being trafficked. They think they are going somewhere where they were promised they will have a better life." 
Kaitlyn: "In the game you are not given one story. As you pass through the slides you are given many incomplete stories that show how diverse those being trafficked are and the many different promises they are told. There is no direct ending or way to monitor and control this problem."
