• demographics and audience feedback forms (70% response rate)
• moderated post-performance large audience discussions (N = 373)
• post-performance focus groups (N = 65 in 12 groups)

“My overwhelming feeling from the play is I’m in constant conflict. When I watched the play, I just found it amazing how the play brought that out. And when you look at policy, the tricky thing is THAT. How do you put THAT complexity and THAT conflict, which results from these types of issues, into a policy?” (Woman, Health Care Professional, LAD T9)
Complexity
• Power of story in co–construction of knowledge (versus provision of information)
• Actors and audience members are mutually responsive (i.e., not passive) participants
• Performance creates empathy and stimulates imagination yet allows for multiple interpretations
• Shared experience of play becomes basis for dialogue, discussion and intervention
