Welcome to No Shame Theater

Misson Statement
The purpose of this project is to examine the culture of "No Shame Theater." Specifically, we wanted to look at the relationships between audience and performers, performers with each other, and the motivation behind performing.  We also tried to examine the norms of this type of theater and the expectations of both the performers and the audience.  In order to do this type of ethnography, we had to look at the communications of language involved.  We studied the spoken and unspoken interactions and interviewed some "No Shame" performers.  This was done in order to gain insight into the attitudes and feeling of the people involved in "No Shame."
