- **Event Name**: Theatre of the Oppressed workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Theatre of the Oppressed, a workshop with Ash Goverman, every 2nd Friday 7-8:30 pm (except May and June which will happen on the 2nd Sunday). Using Augusto Boal’s structures and games, explore how theatre can be “a rehearsal for the revolution.”

The workshop is based in the work of Augusto Boal, who developed Theatre of the Oppressed in Brazil inspired by Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Boal describes theatre as “rehearsal for the revolution”. His method transforms the audience from passive spectators into “spect-actors,” empowered to explore solutions to oppressive personal, social, and political problems through theatre and improvisation.

Participants will use Boal’s games as a tool for power analysis. The workshop will offer image theatre and forum theatre as methods for societal examination through our bodies, rather than cerebrally; in community, rather than in isolation. Theatre of the Oppressed is a connective tool for community engagement and for embodied anti-perfectionism. Boal’s methods guide us to explore, analyze, and ultimately transform our lived reality.

Ash Goverman is a theatre director, teaching artist, and arts coordinator. She has studied Theatre of the Oppressed with Christina Marin.
