MPAATA .R.WILLIAMS’EXPERIENCE WITH STREET THEATRE IN UGANDA

In Uganda Street Theatre is moving to another level of professionalism as a theatre form, I believe that Street theatre is all about inviting the general public, as audience, to play and enjoy an artistic silly moment.  Interaction with the audience is particularly important in my performance which is mostly improvised. One of my main challenges is to know who to approach to participate and usually I identify people laughing however some people prefer to observe and I respect that.
