A typicalForum Theatre piece would present a story similar to the actual experiences of the community and focus on a particular difficulty they face. The community audience is invited to stop the performance and attempt to change the course of action and work towards resolving the situation.During this weeklong training you’ll experience a range of techniques from Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed. Storytelling, image theatre, performance and facilitation will be used to explore social issues and generate material forperformance.
