The Boal Method of Theatre and Therapy

By: Augusto Boal

Rainbow of Desire is a handbook of exercises with a difference. It is Augusto Boal's bold and brilliant statement about the therapeutic ability of theatre to liberate individuals and change lives. Now translated into English and comprehensively updated from the French, Rainbow of Desire sets out the techniques which help us `see' for the first time the oppressions we have internalised. Boal, a Brazilian theatre director, writer and politician, has been confronting oppression in various forms for over thirty years. His belief that theatre is a means to create the future has inspired hundreds of groups all over the world to use his techniques in a multitude of settings. This, his latest work, includes such exercises as: * The Cops in the Head and their anti-bodies * The screen image * The image of the future we are afraid of * Image and counter-image ....and many more. Rainbow of Desire will make fascinating reading for those already familiar with Boal's work and is also completely accessible to anyone new to Theatre of the Oppressed techniques.

Legislative Theatre

Using Performance to Make Politics

By: Augusto Boal

Augusto Boal's reputation is now moving beyond the realms of theatre and drama therapy, bringing him to the attention of a wider public. Legislative Theatre is the latest and most remarkable stage in his work. 'Legislative Theatre' is an attempt to use Boal's method of 'Forum Theatre' within a political system to create a truer form of democracy. It is an extraordinary experiment in the potential of theatre to affect social change. At the heart of his method of Forum Theatre is the dual meaning of the verb 'to act': to perform and to take action. Forum Theatre invites members of the audience to take the stage and decide the outcome, becoming an integral part of the performance. As a politician in his native Rio de Janeiro, Boal used Forum Theatre to motivate the local populace in generating relevant legislation. In Legislative Theatre Boal creates new, theatrical, and truly revolutionary ways of involving everyone in the democratic process. This book includes: * a full explanation of the genesis and principles of Legislative Theatre * a description of the process in operation in Rio * Boal's essays, speeches and lectures on popular theatre, Paolo Freire, cultural activism, the point of playwrighting, and much else besides.

Hamlet and the Baker's Son

My Life in Theatre and Politics

By: Augusto Boal

Hamlet and the Baker's Son is the autobiography of Augusto Boal, inventor of the internationally renowned Forum Theatre system, and 'Theatre of the Oppressed' and author of Games for Actors and Non-Actors and Legislative Theatre. Continuing to travel the world giving workshops and inspiration to teachers, prisoners, actors and care-workers, Augusto Boal is a visionary as well as a product of his times - the Brazil of military dictatorship and artistic and social repression and was once imprisoned for his subversive activities. From his early days in Brazil's political theatre movement to his recent experiments with theatre as a democratic political process, Boal's story is a moving and memorable one. He has devised a unique way of using the stage to empower the disempowered, and taken his methods everywhere from the favelas of Rio to the rehearsal studios of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Theatre of the Oppressed

By: Augusto Boal

The innovative Brazilian playwright, director and international lecturer explicates Aristotle's poetics and the philosophies of Machiavelli, Hegel and Brecht to determine the extent to which their chief components--imitation, catharsis and, ultimately, audience control--serve up to support the status quo of a society rather than facilitate change.

Théâtre de l'opprimé

By: Augusto Boal

L'être devient humain quand il invente le théâtre. " La profession théâtrale, qui appartient à quelques-uns, ne doit pas cacher l'existence et la permanence de la vocation théâtrale, qui appartient à tous. Le théâtre est une vocation pour tout être humain. " Le théâtre de l'opprimé est un système d'exercices physiques, de jeux esthétiques, de techniques d'images et d'improvisations spéciales, dont le but est de sauvegarder, développer et redimensionner cette vocation humaine, en faisant de l'activité théâtrale un outil efficace pour la compréhension et la recherche de solutions à des problèmes sociaux et personnels. " Augusto Boal. " Qu'est-ce que le théâtre de l'opprimé ? Il a deux principes fondamentaux : " transformer le spectateur - être passif, réceptif, dépositaire - en protagoniste d'une action dramatique, en sujet créateur, en transformateur, essayer de ne pas se contenter de réfléchir sur le passé, mais de préparer le futur ". Une autre façon d'être subversif sans sortir son revolver. " Libération. " Le document d'Augusto Boal prouve que le théâtre populaire bien compris réveille les consciences. Ce livre est aussi important que les Ecrits sur le théâtre de Bertolt Brecht. " Cahiers de la Comédie Française.
