ABSTRACT

Improbable Players (IP) has been creating applied theatre for substance use disorder prevention since 1984, training more than 200 sober actor/teaching artists to perform plays and facilitate workshops addressing addiction, alcoholism, and the opioid crisis. The company operates, for its actors, as a long-term arts- integrated peer recovery support service and mutual support group for recovery from substance addiction, increasing their recovery capital. This essay examines the ways Improbable Player's applied theatre programme operates to build recovery capital and support individual behavioural changes in its artistic staff.

摘要

自 1984 年以来，Improbable Players (IP) 一直在创建用于预防药物滥用障碍的应用剧院，培训了 200 多名清醒的演员/教学艺术家表演戏剧并促进针对成瘾、酗酒和阿片类药物危机的研讨会。该公司为其演员运营一个长期的艺术综合同伴康复支持服务和相互支持小组，以从药物成瘾中恢复，增加他们的康复资本。本文探讨了 Improbable Player 的应用剧院计划如何运作以建立恢复资本并支持其艺术人员的个人行为改变。
