Goa Livelihood Forum Commemorates Artistes on World Theater Day

To commemorate the power of theater to change lives, the Goa Livelihood Forum (GLF) observed World Theater Day by honoring artistes who use their art form to create social change. GLF has been committed to enabling communities to achieve great results through effective narrative storytelling, addressing issues such as violence against women, gender empowerment, and money management through street performances and theater.

At the center of this year's celebrations was a tribute of particular appreciation to Nikita Gupta, whose powerful theatrical performance gave vital voice to prominent social issues. Her performance resonated strongly with audiences, stimulating valuable discussion and spurring action toward a more equitable society. Theater, particularly in public spaces, has emerged as a compelling means through which to educate and engage people, making complex social issues more accessible and urgent.

A GLF representative underscored the use of theatre as a vehicle for social change, quoting, "Performing arts can reach people emotionally, raise awareness and trigger change at a grassroots level." The organization reaffirmed its commitment to supporting artists who utilize their art as a tool for social change so that theatre can continue to be a platform for empowerment and advocacy.

The occasion had performances with interactive audience engagement, discussions, and narrations, all reaffirming the role of human-centric performing arts programs. GLF invoked more emphasis and funding in social causes-oriented performing arts, entreating policymakers, cultural centers, and educational facilities to partner towards the expanded role of theater-for-a-cause public campaigns.

As the festival concluded, GLF pledged to continue working on keeping its efforts towards mobilizing the power of story so that theatre remains a force in constant motion for good in the world, lighting the way towards a better future for all.
