Theater of the Oppressed
 In

Saturday, April 1, 2023 from 1:00-4:00 PM

Theatre of the Oppressed is a practical tool for audiences and actors to step into the role of political and societal change makers. This theatre gives an opportunity to rehearse for real world issues through Augusto Boal‘s practices of Image and Forum Theatre. No previous theatre or acting experience is necessary to participate. During the workshop, we will start off by playing games and theatre warm-ups. Image Theatre will give participants a chance to show their ideal world by creating a picture through a frozen scene or tableaux. Lastly, participants will watch a short play during Forum Theatre and then be given an opportunity to step into a role and change the ending.

The event will be facilitated by Christina Foltz. Christina is a community engaged theatre artist based in Kansas City. She is as a director, playwright, and educator. Her passion is for applied theatre and she believes that theatre is meant to benefit the community it is in. Her goal is to create theatre that can shape society as well as to help us to better understand our common humanity.
