Dateline: 8th January, 2004 Forum Theatre - an Introduction Sunday 18th & Sunday 25th January Forum Theatre - an introduction with members of Théâtre de l'Opprimé (Paris) 1pm - 7pm | £8 | The Arches 253 Argyle St, Glasgow | box office: 0141 565 1023 "This is a process of thinking together" Augusto Boal The Theatre of the Oppressed was established in the 1970s by Brazilian director and Working Party activist Augusto Boal, as a form of popular theatre for, by and of people engaged in the struggle for liberation. Bridging the gap between the "actor" and the "spectator", the Theatre of the Oppressed is practiced by "spect - actors" who have the opportunity to both act and observe and who engage in self empowering processes of dialogue that help foster critical thinking. Open to professional artists, The Arches hosts a series of two workshops introducing the participants to the founding principles of the method. It will be led by Estelle Rosenfeld and Carlo Iacucci from the Théâtre de l'Opprimé (Theatre of the Oppressed) in Paris. It will consist of two practical working sessions with a group of about 15 participants on two consecutive Sundays. We will train with exercises and games from the method originated by Augusto Boal, introducing physical group exercises, improvisation, and forum theatre. The program will be the following.
Places on the workshop are limited and advance bookings recommended! Any reservations not paid in full 24 hours before workshop date will be released. Please book directly with The Arches box office 0141 565 1023. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
