Theatre for the Living
January 28-30
Friday 7pm to Sunday 1pm
“This vibrant ‘theatre for social change’ technique, developed by David Diamond (Headlines Theatre, Vancouver), is based on Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed. Used in community-based cultural work to address issues such as violence, suicide-prevention, anti-racism, bullying and community development, it blurs the lines between actor and audience. The community tells their common story – a story perhaps unrealized – that is released through body and voice. Discover and apply this technique, using games and exercises as the “language” to express stories, explore moments of conflict, and discover solutions.
Leadership: Courtney Siebring studied under David Diamond and is an actor, mask-maker, writer, & workshop instructor. Rose Adams, Program Resource Group.
Cost: $360 ($200 tuition + $160 meals/accommodation)
