Acting Out the Culture: The Making of Culturally Relevant Theatre, Papua New Guinea
Feature
Michael A. Mel

Culturally relevant theatre in education in Papua New Guinea challenges, questions, asserts, transgresses, subverts, opposes, resists and negotiates with the demands of political and cultural relations. It offers new forms of representation and contributes to the process of destabilising and decentering the domination of Western processes of teaching, learning and performance.
