Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A mask workshop with incarcerated offenders. An AIDS education play in rural Zimbabwe. An interactive drama about racism and refugees in northern England. What do these performances have in common? All are examples of applied theatre, a vibrant and expanding field that blends theory and practice in efforts to use theatre for social and political change. The Applied Theatre Reader adds a global perspective to the growing library of academic works investigating how theatre workers put into practice the theories of Bertolt Brecht, Augusto Boal and educator Paulo Freire. This anthology of short articles by academics, artists and facilitators presents a wide variety of recent applied theatre projects around the world. The breadth of the book demonstrates the diversity of the field, while at the same time revealing that questions of efficacy and ethics remain crucial issues for any theatre concerned with social transformation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
