TiE Today in Wales, Author: Edward David Humphreys, University of Chester

Abstract
This dissertation explores how theatre-in-education (TiE) is used to stage social
issues for young participants, specifically in Wales. To begin, there is a history of
TiE; looking at how it was introduced to Britain. Throughout, there will be focus on
key moments that changed the course of TiE programmes. Contained in this
dissertation are two case studies which both deal with social issues identified by
local authorities targeted at participants, which were of secondary school age; Theatr
Clwyd’s Justice in a Day and Arad Goch’s SXTO. I analysed the programmes,
looking at the structure, devising process and participatory role of the audience;
seeing what makes a TiE piece effective for its participants.
