Theatre of the Oppressed is a form of theatre first created by Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal. It requires audience participation (audience members are referred to as "spect-actors") and its goal is to interrogate and call attention to oppressive power structures.
This collection includes links to a number of resources that provide various theatrical activities inspired by the Theatre of the Oppressed in addition to guidance on how to incorporate the activities into a curriculum.
