A Toolkit for Developing Emotional Intelligence

by Gill Dowsett

ISBN 0956259006

Published by Theatr Fforwm Cymru   March 2009

In 2006, Theatr Fforwm Cymru produced a DVD which aimed to demonstrate the elements of a Theatr Fforwm Cymru workshop focusing on emotional intelligence, and culminating in a demonstration of exactly how a piece of forum theatre was developed from a participant’s experience (in this case, a story about unfair treatment in a school). From this, Fforwm’s Director, Gill Dowsett, wrote a visionary, in-depth, step-by-step guide to the techniques used by Theatr Fforwm Cymru in working with a diverse range of groups. The guide contains both theory and practical advice, and covers everything from the importance of the circle to the practicalities of working as a facilitator, and supplemented by a directory of the games that Theatr Fforwm has gathered over the years.

In a very real sense, this handbook represents Theatr Fforwm Cymru’s “gold” - practical, readable and invaluable for anyone wanting to focus on emotional intelligence in a creative and engaging way. The handbook and DVD complement one another and are fully cross-referenced—read the section and then watch the DVD for practical demonstrations.

The handbook has now been published, and is available to purchase from Amazon or direct from Theatr Fforwm Cymru priced £50 + P&P
