Workshop: A143 Street theatre according to Augusto Boal / Theatre of the Oppressed

Theory and practice - staging and realisation in the context of ESU 22

There will be a practical introduction to this form of street theatre with warm-up exercises, especially to promote expressive body language. Together we will develop themes and roles, in the end we will put on a street theatre production for the other ESU participants and the interested public. (3-part workshop, each Thursday, Friday, Saturday 10 a.m.)

Street theatre is a creative form of political communication: political messages are conveyed through impressive images, especially through gestures, facial expressions and movement, and through only a few but concise words.

In this three-day workshop, the topic and the performance of the street theatre will be developed together with the participants, which will also be performed at the ESU in Mönchengladbach on Saturday evening. The "Theatre of the Oppressed" according to Augusto Boal is inspired by the methods of sociodrama and psychodrama according to Moreno and by the concept of "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire.

We will start with warm-up exercises, then practise role design, doubling, role reversal and maximisation of the performance through body language. Acting skills are not necessary - experience has shown that all people are capable of actively participating in street theatre.
