ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the systemic awareness embedded in its methodology in a manner designed to pave the way for its robust deployment across the various fields of applied social science including, of course, all forms of management involving human activity systems. It analyzes the author’s experience portraying Doug, a non-indigenous character with deeply internalized racist assumptions, and improvising with various audience members who attempted to shift the character’s behaviour in both successful and unsuccessful ways. The chapter examines some of the ways in which the insights of the previous several sections can be didactically pragmatized for audience members of the Forum event itself. In the more systems-inflected mode of Forum Theatre proposed, these periods of analysis open up space for educational discussions and applications of specific systems heuristics that audience members might employ in order to make effective interventions in the play’s action.
