Playing Boal is the first book to examine the techniques in application of Augusto Boal, creator of Theatre of the Oppressed and internationally renowned Brazilian theatre maker and political activist.
Boal's work is becoming famous, say the editors of this volume, for its ability to effect change on both a personal and social level. But what happens to the techniques when they are used in different contexts? Playing Boal looks at the use of the Theatre of the Oppressed exercises by a variety of practitioners and scholars working in Europe, North America and Canada. It explores the possibilities of these tools for 'active learning and personal empowerment, cooperative education and healing, participatory theatre and community action.'
A fascinating collection in itself, Playing Boal will illuminate and invigorate discussion about Augusto Boal's work and the transformative potential of theatre. It includes two interviews with Boal and two pieces of his own writing, making it the most comprehensive and in-depth volume on Augosto Boal's work to date.
