The article analyses the experience of the integrated company of community theatre assaASAI, operating in Turin since 2010. The company has been hosted more than three hundred persons so far and it includes a heterogeneous group of people that differ each other in terms of age, geographical and sociocultural background, (dis)abilities, education, job. The authors debate the role the Argentine community theatre and the production related to Art for Social Change as inspirational sources for assaiASAI. Following, the integrated company is analysed as a "community of practice". This analytical framework enables the description of several pillars of the company: the practice as the basis for learning, the cooperation beyond differences, the creation of an open community. Finally, challenges and struggles in the relations of assaiASAI with other welfare entities will be discussed.
Keywords: community theatre; integrated theatre; community of practice; social transformation; welfare.
