Abstract The article gave an account of multiple artistic performances in Kolkata, India using music, dance, painting and theatre for environmental awareness specially focusing on global warming. The Other forms were pre planned but the theatrical performance involved public participation using forum theatre technique. The study tried to differentiate the participants and the audience participants according to male female, age group, literary background and economic background. 21-30 age group of participants showed maximum value. Active audience participation in forum was 11.46%. Economic background of the participants was calculated to be from the lower and middle class people while that of the audience also revealed almost the same feature. Result of the forum practice revealed that social and economic equity is necessary to create awareness. The study also clearly endorsed the fact that artistic involvement and active participation of people is one of the best practices for awareness movement because artistic involvement is inherited from the ancestor species of mankind as a method of social bonding. It generates altruism and empathy without which environmental sustainability is impossible. The study thus recommend this method as a model to be followed further.
