Augusto Boal

I am a big fan of Augusto Boal. He was one of the most influential people in bridging the gap between structured theatre and activism.

His contributions to theatre are an incredibly effective means of solution finding.

"The forum- helped the citizens to develop their taste for political discussion and their desire to develop their own artistic abilities."

When applied effectively to a community in need Augusto Boal's work can be a catalyst for positive change; A productive way to bridge gaps between people. Theatre of the Oppressed can be a way to incite an individual's involvement in social change.
