The article explored the community youth theatre practices of the Community Youth Cultural Centre (CYCC) of the National Commission on Culture (NCC) in Ghana. We examined the role of the youth theatre at CYCC in the light of community empowerment. Using the qualitative case study design, six artists with a minimum of five years and a maximum of thirty years of work experience with the CYCC were interviewed. Performance activities and documents of the CYCC were also observed and analysed. The findings revealed four themes: Objectives of the centre; Youth theatre practices; Abibigoro/puppetry theatre models; and non-formal and cultural education. It was found that staff and artists at the CYCC employed diverse theatrical modes to facilitate community empowerment processes. The study recommends that cultural and creative centres in Ghana should harness the potentials of the community youth theatre, develop community-specific and context-driven performance models to support artistic-aesthetic-cultural and non-formal education processes to enhance our collective strive for community empowerment in GhanaZ razvojem novih produkcijskih modelov in osrediščenjem na opolnomočenje skupnosti je narasel pomen razvoja orodij za evalvacijo teh procesov. Prispevek se osredotoča na skupnostno mladinsko gledališče Community Youth Cultural Centre (CYCC) Narodne komisije za kulturo (NCC) v Gani. Raziskali smo vlogo mladinskega gledališča CYCC pri opolnomočenju skupnosti. Uporabili smo kvalitativno študijo primerov šestih umetnikov/ posrednikov z najmanj petimi in največ 30 let delovnih izkušenj v CYCC. Opazovali smo tudi uprizoritvene aktivnosti in pregledali dokumente CYCC. Rezultati so razkrili pet tem: podpora družbeno-kulturnim potrebam in prizadevanjem mladih v Gani; programi za razvoj mladih; skupnostno mladinsko gledališče in družbena intervencija za razvoj izobraževanja in družbe. Ugotovili smo, da uprizoritveni umetniki in posredniki v CYCC uporabljajo raznolike gledališke modele ter z njimi omogočajo procese opolnomočenja skupnosti. Raziskava predlaga, naj kulturni in ustvarjalni centri v Gani izrabijo potenciale skupnostnega mladinskega gledališča ter razvijejo na skupnosti in kontekste vezane performativne modele ter tako podprejo umetniško-estetsko-kulturne in neformalne izobraževalne procese, ki vodijo k našemu vzajemnemu cilju opolonomočenja skupnosti v GaniTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovenski gledališki inštitut (SLOGI)
