AB This article explores how creative theatre is used in the area of social work with homeless individuals in Seville (Spain). We look at how applied theatre can be used as a tool for encouraging the development of capacities amongst this group, which is largely excluded from mainstream society. To do this, we focus on our experiences in this area, with the aim of showing how social work and theatre can combine to form a powerful tool for fostering the development of agency and empowerment at an individual and group level. We also explain how theatrical performances are able to create spaces where homeless individuals and mainstream society are able to interact with one another beyond strictly institutional settings.
