INTRODUCTION TO PLAYBACK THEATRE
|
"Playback theatre is used in a wide variety of settings. In addition to providing highly enjoyable theatre, this approach promotes dialogue between different voices, since in the course of a playback theatre event, many people have to opportunity to speak and see their stories enacted on the stage. The playback theatre process also promotes the definition of identity because the act of telling and seeing is often an integrating experience.
We find out who we are by telling our stories. And as others bear witness and tell theirs in response, a deep and empathy-building conversation is created through our collective stories brought to the stage." - Centre of Playback Theatre |

INTRODUCTION TO THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED
|
Theatre of the Oppressed (T.O.) Originally developed out of Augusto Boal’s revolutionary work with peasant and worker populations in Latin America, it is now used all over the world for social and political activism, conflict resolution, community building, therapy, and government legislation.
Forum Theatre is a problem-solving technique in which an unresolved scene of oppression is presented. It is then replayed with the audience invited to stop the action, replace the character they feel is oppressed, struggling, or lacking power, and improvise alternative solutions. This structure, probably the most famous in T.O.’s “arsenal”, can be used to explore past and current situations, or as a “rehearsal for the future”. - Mandala Centre for Change |
