Forum Theatre by Augusto Boal
Forum theatre is the main technique of the theatre of the oppressed developed by the Brazilian director and scholar Augusto Boal. The Theatre of the Oppressed was established in the 1970s as a form of popular theatre in the struggle for liberation in order to empower oppressed people. Forum Theatre is a way of staging the situations in which we feel (or have felt) that our capacity is being restricted or attacked by external forces – as an individual and as a community. The situation is staged and performed as a play without resolution to an audience who are usually from a community who are likely to suffer the same pressures. The play is performed a second time with the invitation to the audience members to replace the character/s with whom they identify and show what they would do in such a situation. The aim is to share and rehearse strategies to resist and overcome oppression.
