“We must all do theatre – to find out who we are, and to discover who we could become.” – Augusto Boal
//für die deutsche Version nach unten scrollen
A progressive course for practitioners, facilitators, activists and those with a grounding in the fundamental techniques of the Theatre of the Oppressed or related applied theatre backgrounds, this training is designed to enrich and enhance participants confidence, experience and abilities with Boal’s method of theatre and therapy – the Rainbow of Desire – and the opportunity to explore how it inter-relates with Social Presencing Theatre – Arawana Hayashi’s methodology for understanding current reality and exploring emerging future possibilities.
In the 1970s junta-era Brazil, Augusto Boal developed forum theatre to help spec-actors explore options in response to external oppressors – cops, landlords, the military, the dictatorship itself. When he fled in exile to Europe, he discovered that the oppressors had ceased to be solely external, and infact had left the barracks and moved into spectactors’ heads, negating the need for a physical oppressor. In response, he used the foundation of Image Theatre to develop a therapeutic theatre to address and explore these cops-in-the-head.
SPT is not „theater“ in the conventional sense, but uses simple body postures and movements to dissolve limiting concepts, to communicate directly, to access intuition, and to make visible both current reality, and the deeper – often invisible – leverage points for creating profound change.
This course will be a unique opportunity to experience both techniques in application and explore the subtle yet fundamental relationships between these two profound practices, with the aim of developing individual and social resilience and capacity within ourselves and our communities.
