dc.description.abstract My essay, titled "The Role of Applied Theatre in Fostering Inclusivity and Self-Empowerment among Individuals with disabilities in Masaka: A Case Study of Arts Applied Uganda," seeks to understand how Arts Applied Uganda used Theatre for Development in Masaka District to foster inclusivity and empowerment of people with disabilities. The essay includes anecdotes and quotes from in-depth interviews with Applied Theatre practitioners, one of whom is a person with a disability. The essay aims to provide a qualitative assessment of an unpopular form of theatre that proves to be a useful tool for social cohesion, sensitization, and cultural transformation. Through the use of the case study, this essay portrays what is possible if Applied Theatre is embraced, but also the challenges and solutions. en_US
