Theatre of the oppressed
Aim: To educate about theatre of the oppressed
Method: Lectures and active participation
Duration: ca. 2 hours
Number of participants: 10-30
Description: You start off by creating rules that everyone agrees on. With that out of the way you
can start talking about the theatre of the oppressed and its forms (forum, image, legislative,
newspaper, invisible, rainbow of desire and debate) and methods (stop n think, style analytics,
Hannover variations, yes but, emotional analytics, long beach telegram,…). The participants
create stories in which they can use the methods. All these stories need two main characters: the
oppressed and the oppressor. They play out parts of the stories so they can practice the methods
and have a feeling of interacting with the audience.
