Inhalt:
Forum Theatre is a type of theatre created by the innovative and influential practitioner Augusto Boal, one of the techniques under the umbrella term of Theatre of the Oppressed (TO). This relates to the engagement of spectators influencing and engaging with the performance as both spectators and actors, termed ‘spect-actors’, with the power to stop and change the performance. As part of TO, the issues dealt with in Forum Theatre are often related to areas of social justice with aims to explore solutions to oppression featured in the performance. The work of Augusto Boal is also inspired and based on the teachings of Paulo Freire.
The Forum Theatre Workshop offers the opportunity for further reflection and deeper emotional insight into issues and topics dealt with at the Leverage Points Conference (http://leveragepoints2019.leuphana.de). During the workshop, students and participants of the conference get familiar with Forum Theater and develop a theatre sequence that will be presented during the conference. By initiating a creative process between audience and actors, a theatrical performance is realised in which the participants can review their experiences.
Ziel:
The workshop and performance offers the opportunity to learn about and to experience Forum Theater and the issues and topics that are dealt with during the Conference.
Studienleistung:
Participation during the workshop and performance will be certified.
