  1. The Work of Augusto Boal

  2. ”An Actor Speaks Of Us, For Us, And In Us.” Theatre is born when a human being discovers it can observe itself. The magic exists in the human being seeing itself seeing.

The human being is the only creature capable of understanding the concrete in relation to the abstract (Symbolism).

  11. Forum Theatre • - Theatre in the round where the • audience has the opportunity to • direct and/or join in the action • We offer to the protagonist what he/she could do differently, not what we would do • The action is frozen and an audience member takes the place of the protagonist in the improvisation The Design of the Improvisation – The protagonist chooses the cast members and composes the scenario. The characters enter into the scene, rather than start on. It is important that all the characters know their desire and their will to achieve it.
