lt;p>Cultural performances are important in managing the collective trauma of victims of violent conflicts. They help victims to attain catharsis, build an intense community spirit, deepen resilience and envision a brighter future. They provide the requisite context that is not strange to the trauma victims and this enhances their healing and wellbeing.

lt;p>This book documents the experiences of victims of violent conflicts, who used dance, music, and drama to negotiate their wellbeing, and build resilience and hope. The culturally familiar context used by the victims is a bottom-up approach that generates positive energies enabling them to attain emotional growth and psychological integration, including social skills with which they imagine and work towards a better future.

"Shadrach grasps the physical and psychological dimensions of theatrical events. He describes as an observer, analyses as a scientist, and understands the need for reflection before coming to a conclusion." Wolfgang Schneider

"... It is a stimulant for further research in cultural performances and their therapeutic properties." S. E. Ododo
