What you'll learn

Forum Theatre is a socio-political, interactive form of theatre created by Augusto Boal in which the spectators become “spect-actors”. They get the chance to change the events, and more importantly, outcome of a situation or story, not only through dialogue, but also through getting on stage and playing things differently.
 
 In this workshop, we’ll get introduced to Forum Theatre, how it works, and flirt with some of the basic skills required to get started in this revolutionary (literally) theatre format.
