“Delightful is the song which speaks of health and hygiene, each line ending with the question: Nalamdana?… The audience is drawn, the play begins… With the lights, props and background music, it is like watching live cinema, cinema that evolves. What the Nalamdana theatre team does is to find ways of bringing the movie alive, filled with messages. At any time, new feedback can be incorporated.”

Making Waves: Stories of Participatory Communication for Social Change”
A Report to the Rockefeller Foundation“An evaluation of Nalamdana theatrical activities showed that a significant increase in HIV/AIDS-related knowledge occurred as a result of watching the drama… accurate knowledge and awareness of where to go for further services like testing and counseling are the essential steps to behavior change. The interactive street theatre performances facilitate this link.”Excerpt:
An evaluation of Nalamdana theatrical activities showed that a significant increase in
HIV/AIDS-related knowledge occurred as a result of watching the drama. Before the play,
audiences had relatively high levels of accurate knowledge about HIV/AIDS, but lower
knowledge levels of common HIV/AIDS misconceptions. The drama reduced these
misconceptions and also increased the level of reported intentions to treat HIV-positive
individuals more kindly.Download PDF: http://www.communicationforsocialchange.org/pdf/making_waves.pdf
