Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dynamic book offers a comprehensive companion to the theory and practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. Developed by Brazilian director and theorist Augusto Boal, these theatrical forms invite people to mobilize their knowledge and rehearse struggles against oppression. Featuring a diverse array of voices (many of them as yet unheard in the academic world), the book hosts dialogues on the following questions, among others: Why and how did Theatre of the Oppressed develop? What are the differences between the 1970s (when Theatre of the Oppressed began) and today? How has Theatre of the Oppressed been shaped by local and global shifts of the last 40-plus years? Why has Theatre of the Oppressed spread or "multiplied" across so many geographic, national, and cultural borders? How has Theatre of the Oppressed been shaped by globalization, "development," and neoliberalism? What are the stakes, challenges, and possibilities of Theatre of the Oppressed today? How can Theatre of the Oppressed balance practical analysis of what is with ambitious insistence on what could be? How can Theatre of the Oppressed hope, but concretely? Broad in scope yet rich in detail, The Routledge Companion to Theatre of the Oppressed contains practical and critical content relevant to artists, activists, teachers, students, and researchers.
Book Synopsis Legislative Theatre by : Augusto Boal
Download or read book Legislative Theatre written by Augusto Boal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augusto Boal's reputation is now moving beyond the realms of theatre and drama therapy, bringing him to the attention of a wider public. Legislative Theatre is the latest and most remarkable stage in his work. 'Legislative Theatre' is an attempt to use Boal's method of 'Forum Theatre' within a political system to create a truer form of democracy. It is an extraordinary experiment in the potential of theatre to affect social change. At the heart of his method of Forum Theatre is the dual meaning of the verb 'to act': to perform and to take action. Forum Theatre invites members of the audience to take the stage and decide the outcome, becoming an integral part of the performance. As a politician in his native Rio de Janeiro, Boal used Forum Theatre to motivate the local populace in generating relevant legislation. In Legislative Theatre Boal creates new, theatrical, and truly revolutionary ways of involving everyone in the democratic process. This book includes: * a full explanation of the genesis and principles of Legislative Theatre * a description of the process in operation in Rio * Boal's essays, speeches and lectures on popular theatre, Paolo Freire, cultural activism, the point of playwrighting, and much else besides.

Book Synopsis The Theatre of the Oppressed for Beginners by : Valeria Appel
Download or read book The Theatre of the Oppressed for Beginners written by Valeria Appel and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the Theatre of the Oppressed and explores the possibilities of drama as an agent for social change. The critical analysis of the theory and practice of Augusto Boal's theatre demonstrates the suitability of the method to deal with social issues. The focus is on the semiotic aspect of theatre. There are a number of elements in theatre that follow codes and conventions. When conceiving theatre as a language these can be subverted in order to make particular statements. Augusto Boal's work draws from Bertolt Brecht's Marxist drama and Paulo Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'. The concept of 'Dialectics' is a key term in Brecht's work. Indeed, Boal conceives oppression as the absence of dialogue. Boal's aesthetic language developed in Brazil's military coup environment. At the time the challenge was to provide people with a system of symbols that could pair the written and spoken language. Then, Boal formulated the concept of 'spect-actor'. Some voices claim that the method has become dogmatic. At the present, Boal is no icon of oppression.A number of theatre companies specialise in tackling specific social issues that lead to isolation and social apartheid. This is supported by a social policy and funding bodies that seek social cohesion through these kind of schemes.
