Resources
Here we hope to amplify interesting resources from other practitioners, and share the occasional blog post.
As befits a methodology of its enduring influence, The Theatre of the Oppressed in the second decade of the 2000s has spawned many variations, with different specific aims and even in some cases different names. Though the ethos and enduring wisdom of Augusto Boal informs all the forms and manifestations of its practice across the globe, within the broad church of TO there is (appropriately) room for debate and development, according to the contexts and concerns of its practitioners.
During lockdown in 2020/21, Adrian Jackson undertook a series of interviews with distinguished international TO practitioners whilst at Cardboard Citizens. He himself was interviewed as part of this series by leading UK theatre director, Matthew Xia.
