Theatre Meets Healthcare: Breaking Barriers in Cancer Conversations
In Leicester, theatre is transforming how Black communities talk about cancer. Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK, alongside Theatre Sans Frontières, is using interactive Forum Theatre to tackle stigma, improve healthcare conversations, and break down cultural barriers.
Actors bring real-life cancer diagnosis experiences to the stage—but the audience isn’t just watching. They step in, suggest changes, and even take on roles, making it a powerful, immersive experience for patients, families, and healthcare professionals.
With workshops for young people and a final event showcasing key insights, this project is more than a performance—it’s a movement. By blending storytelling with lived experience, it’s paving the way for better, more inclusive healthcare conversations.
Real stories. Real impact. Real change.
