9am – 3pm | Monday – Friday | August 25th – August 29th | Grades 9th – 12th
With Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed, students will engage deeply with the main components including Teatro Foro, Image Theater, and Invisible Theater. Students will share their own stories, listen to the stories of others, and co-create theater pieces based on these stories. They will study the profound coercive nature of tragedy as it pertains to contemporary forms of art and also “rehearse” many possible responses and resistance to oppression and try out practices in freedom. Students will apply the concepts of coercive tragedy, poetics, virtue, and catharsis to create their own story at the end of the 2 weeks.
