Boal to Work with Salford Youngsters

So Many Words, the disability arts organisation based in SALFORD, is to host a 3-day Forum Theatre training programme for young people with special needs and disabilities. The programme will be run by Brazilian Director Augusto Boal together with his son Julian and is open to young people from Salford and Greater Manchester, aged 16 to 21 years with special needs.

What Will Happen
Through the weekend, participants will investigate the theory and practice of Forum Theatre (an interactive theatrical form originally devised by Augusto Boal) in a purely practical way, as a tool for social change.

A number of simple games and exercises around trust, confidence and group integration will be introduced and explained, to equip participants to lead workshop sessions with their own groups. The young people will then go back to their own groups and follow a 12-month maintenance programme supported by trained leaders from So Many Words.

Augusto will be working with young people from Salford and Greater Manchester on March, 12th, 13th and 14th, 2004 at

Oakwood High Youth Club,
Park Lane,
Salford,
M6 7RQ.

The sessions are FREE and open to young people from Salford and Greater Manchester with special needs.

Interested parties can contact LIZ TAYLOR, Artistic Director, So Many Words or MICHAEL APPLEYARD, Oakwood High Youth Club Co-ordinator.
Telephone 0161 925 0143 or e.mail Lztylrs@aol.com
