What is a good friend?
With over 350 performances nationwide, What Is a Good Friend? is one of our most requested school programs. Designed for ages 7–19, it blends theatre, creativity, and active participation.
Through interactive Form Theatre (IFT) scenes, students explore friendship, respect, bullying, exclusion, threats, and violence, working together to find positive solutions and making learning truly engaging and memorable.
The classroom visits always begin with an open discussion where students reflect on their thoughts and experiences related to the current theme
What is Interactive Form of Theatre?
IFT is a values-based educational tool designed to foster creativity, reflection, and collaboration.
Students are actively involved in the performance, influencing the story without being on stage, and in the process develop creative and solution-oriented thinking.
Each performance is shaped by the audience and built upon four fundamental pillars.
IFT's value-based work must always include both students reflection and activity.
Why do students enjoy Interactive Form of Theatre?
The students create and shape the performances together, reflect, ask questions, and share experiences.
By exploring different perspectives, they become solution-focused and engaged both inside and outside the classroom moving from being spectators to active participants in addressing conflicts and challenges.
"We teachers also thought this was a very good way to work. It was a democratic way of working. We have already been able to make use of the different characteristics of the different characters in the daily conflict management. -Now we got another tool to use."
