About the “Fourth Wall”
The “fourth wall” is a term used to describe the imaginary barrier separating an audience from a stage. When an actor speaks directly to the audience, or an audience member interacts with the cast, the fourth wall has been “broken”.
City Hall also has a fourth wall. Most residents are simply spectators, passively absorbing local politics through headlines and sound bites. How can we break the fourth wall at City Hall and create a culture of local citizen engagement? How can we open the doors to meaningful dialogue and participation, allowing us to collectively build the city we want to live in?
