A event on Saturday 19th January. The event starts at 10:00.
"We are all actors: Being a citizen is not living in a society, it is changing it" - Augusto Boal
We come together to explore Forum Theatre from the Theatre of the Oppressed, an empowering method that explores the structures and social norms that oppress us in daily life. We will devise short scenes based on our own personal experiences and use techniques from the Theatre of the Oppressed to try out new ways of tackling oppression.
No experience necessary!
Donation of £3-10 to cover expenses but none turned away for lack of funds. Email [email protected] to reserve a place.
Please note, I will be in the space from 9:30am for a prompt 10am start. Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in. There will be a short break mid-way.
About Theatre of the Oppressed
Theatre of the Oppressed is a range of techniques, games and exercises, using embodied narrative to support the empowerment and liberation of individuals and their communities. The approach was developed by Augusto Boal in South America, and has since been used all over the world in the building of community, to dynamize social engagement, and to support individuals to realise their creative potential for personal and social transformation.
About Reboot The Roots
Reboot the Roots is a solidarity organisation that promotes social inclusion through the arts. It uses theatre, music and workshops to support people who are denied their rights to full, happy and active participation in society. This includes those recovering from addiction, people living with HIV/AIDS and individuals who have been in conflict with the law.
They facilitate workshops with the socially excluded, train trainers from other organisations and NGOs in techniques of art for inclusion, and help other practitioners to achieve their goals through logistical support, consultation and funding. They believe that creative tools for social transformation can enable people to participate fully and equally in society.
