Legislative Theatre - Examples of good practice Practicing Democracy (Canada, 2004)

In this case legislative theatre play was created by Headlines Theatre to defy the cuts in social welfare, imposed by the local government in Vancouver. The Vancouver City council endorsed the project that resulted in recommendations for action. The process did not reach its’ goal (i. e. change of legislation) because some could not be implemented by the City of Vancouver alone, yet it is believed that it supported local groups and initiatives dealing with the issue.
