Theatre is a primal language that used to be spoken by everyone;
everyone included the "living community."
Weaving together Systems Theory and the groundbreaking work of
Fritjof Capra, Theatre of the Oppressed and the revolutionary work
of Augusto Boal, and his own 25 years of practical experience in
community-based popular theatre, David Diamond creates a
silo-busting book that embraces the complexity of real life.
Some of the questions Theatre for Living asks and attempts to
answer: From a perspective of biology and sociology, how is a
community a living thing? How do we design a theatre practice to
consciously work with living communities to help them tell their
stories? How do we accomplish this without demonizing those
characters with whom we disagree? Must we constantly do battle to
defeat an endless stream of oppressors, or can we imagine a world
in which we stop creating them? Why is this important? What should
we be on the look-out for (both positive and negative) when doing
this work? What practical games and exercises can we use to awaken
group consciousness?
Who will be interested in Theatre for Living? Artists; community
development workers; educators; activists; people working in social
services, mediation and conflict resolution; health care
professionals; anyone with an interest in finding new ways to
approach the intersection of culture and social justice.
