USAf selected six case studies for the Humanities and Social Sciences category, including Wits’ Drama for Life Knowledge Unzipped project. Knowledge Unzipped is a multi-modal, applied theatre-based sexual and reproductive health and rights project. Run by Drama for Life in partnership with the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, it provides updated strategies for implementing, training and assessing applied arts in public health.
Outcomes were achieved within each grouping that aligned with the objective to address specific Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Education (SRHR) needs ‘rooted in the local context and culture’.
An applied theatre practitioner, Mr Hamish Mabala Neill is the Knowledge Unzipped project lead and the Creative Hub Research Director at Drama for Life. He holds a Master’s in Applied Theatre from Wits, awarded for his performance-as-research dissertation which interrogated ‘race’ through performance.
Drama for Life is a unique, internationally recognised postgraduate programme in the Wits School of Arts dedicated to arts for social transformation and healing. Drama for life brings together the disciplines of Applied Drama and Theatre, Performance Ethnography, Performance as Research, Arts Education, Drama Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapies within the context of a critical reflexive praxis.
