"Die Publikation "Die Trickboxx – Ein Leitfaden für die Praxis" beinhaltet umfassendes Material für die Umsetzung von Projekten mit traditioneller Technik und ist in den vergangenen zehn Jahren stark nachgefragt worden. Die vorliegende aktuelle Publikation "Trickfilm to go" knüpft daran an und
...
beinhaltet Material, das sich sowohl an diejenigen richtet, die in der Trickfilmarbeit völlig neu sind und mit mobiler Technik in die Thematik einsteigen wollen, als auch an diejenigen, die bereits mit "klassischem" Equipment gearbeitet haben und nun den Umstieg testen wollen. Im ersten Teil werden die Grundlagen für die Arbeit mit mobiler Technik beschrieben. Neben allgemeinen Hinweisen gibt es ein Kapitel zur benötigten Hardware und ein Kapitel zur Software. Da es sich hierbei um einen extrem dynamischen Markt handelt, wird in beiden Kapiteln weitestgehend darauf verzichtet, einzelne Produkte im Detail zu beschreiben. Wichtig ist für die Orientierung, dass am Thema Interessierte wissen, worauf sie bei der Zusammenstellung der Technik oder beim Auswählen der Software achten müssen. Wer genaue Bedienungsanleitungen benötigt, wird im Internet und auf YouTube mit entsprechenden Videotutorials fündig. Auch auf den Seiten der filmothek der jugend sind zum Thema (Trick-)Filmproduktion mit mobiler Technik aktuelle Tipps zu finden. Im zweiten Teil geben Berichte aus der Praxis einen Einblick in schulische und außerschulische Projektarbeit mit mobilen Medien. Den Projekten ist gemeinsam, dass sie ein enges Zeitbudget zur Verfügung hatten und aus diesem Grund mit der traditionellen Technik kaum umsetzbar gewesen wären. Die Projektabläufe sind in den jeweiligen Kapiteln in übersichtlicher Form angehängt. Im letzten Teil gibt es Materialtipps in Form von Links. Diese Liste erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, möchte aber Materialien präsentieren, die die Projektarbeit bereichern können." (Seite 6)

"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."
