How has the work and legacy of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the
Oppressed been interpreted and practised around the world? What
does it look like in different working contexts? This book provides
an accessible introduction to the political and artistic principles
Boal's techniques are founded on, tracking exemplary practice from
around the globe. Using detailed contemporary case histories,
theatre artist, scholar and activist Ali Campbell demonstrates how
the underlying principles of Boal's practice are today enacted in
the work of - among others - an urban network (Theatre of the
Oppressed NYC); a rural and developmental theatre organisation
(Jana Sanskriti, West Bengal); Boal's original company CTO Rio
(Brazil); and a theatre-based group led by learning-disabled adults
in the UK (The Lawnmowers Independent Theatre Company). The book
concludes with a series of conversations between Campbell and
international exponents of the work, envisioning futures for the
Theatre of the Oppressed in the shifting political, educational and
artistic contexts of the twenty-first century.
