What’s it like to be a theater artist living in Afghanistan?  Over the last 3 days the group shared personal experiences of what it is like to make theater in their provinces.  We used their stories and created a “problem tree” – a tool used in popular education to analyze a present problem, what supports this problem, all the way down to the root causes. The problems they presented are somewhat familiar to me: no respect, no resources, and no support.  These become the leaves, or fruit of the tree.
