Abstract
The paper seeks to further the understanding of the potential of organisational theatre as an intervention in organisational development and change programs. It employs the concept of polyphony to support an analysis of the character and impact of organisational theatre processes. The findings of this paper rest on a longitudinal single-case study, which followed an organisational theatre process from its early development until follow-up stages at an innovative health care project over eighteen months. The analysis suggests that, while organisational theatre is able to provide multivocal and diverse debates and interpretations, the outcomes and effects of organisational theatre for individual participants largely depend on their perceived power status within the organisation.
