"This Module is not about placing a value on artistic expression, but rather about capturing the true impact of Participatory Theatre for Change (PTC) and helping advance the field through the development of vetted best practice. As discussed in the Module, this starts with design, focusing on the i ... mplementation context and understanding the full dynamics in which PTC activities will take place. The Context Analysis process will help determine how PTC can best be utilised in the implementation environment, how complex the programme should be, and if there are additional activities needed to ensure impact. The information from preliminary design thinking and the Context Analysis then supports the identification and contextualization of the key interrelated theories of change that apply to the programme, serving as a foundation from which the activities can be evaluated. Monitoring then allows for an iterative process of designing individual performances, engaging appropriately and in a context sensitive manner with the community, as well as determining if the PTC activities as implemented are trending towards impact. Regular monitoring helps with course corrections when needed, and leads towards more effective programming. The monitoring of the process and quality helps ensure that the performances are doing no harm, artistic expressions, and implemented in such a manner as to achieve Reach, Resonance, and Response. Monitoring provides the temperature checks to make sure the ecosystem of PTC is balanced. And finally, evaluation helps push PTC programming to the next stage. Strong evaluations provide the community with more information about changes that have happened, even self-reflection through participatory methods. Evaluations also enable the actors to learn about the bigger picture of what worked and did not work beyond the immediacy of the performance space and towards the longer term impacts. It enables informed follow-on activities, as well as learnings that can be shared with the broader field to enhance practice more globally. Lastly, evaluations provide evidence of the great work participatory theatre does as a nuanced, emotionally connected, and transformative approach to communications for development."
