"It is not the place of the theatre to show the correct path, but only to offer the means by which all possible paths may be examined."
Augusto Boal
“As an educator with no background in drama, I found engaging with the theatre of the oppressed to be both mysterious and daunting. However, by providing immersive workshops and personal guidance, Adrian and Terry imparted their unparalleled expertise in the design and delivery of TO. They have de-mystified the techniques and inspired me to embed them into my daily teaching practice.”
- James Wilson, Senior Lecturer, Registered Mental Health Nurse & National Teaching Fellow.
Here's what participants say
“A big thank you to Petia for being simply the best facilitator, programme manager, herder of mavericks, curator of silliness, caretaker of our mental and physical wellbeing… 10/10”
- Nikki DiGiovanni, Director of Business Development, CCORRN, Cambridge
