About the Training
Forum Theatre is a core technique of Theatre of the Oppressed, a revolutionary form of participatory theatre designed primarily for non-actors by Brazilian theatre visionary and Nobel Peace Prize finalist Augusto Boal. Through lively, fun and revelatory activities and improvisations, Forum Theatre transforms real-life struggles into interactive theatrical dialogue. Audience members are given the freedom to “stop” a scene, jump into it, and theatrically investigate ways of changing automatic behavioral patterns that keep us stuck in situations of monologue and not dialogue.
