Introduction to Boal

"We are all theatre, even if we don't make theatre."

We practice things, we learn things in theatre that teach us about real life. Shouldnt we all have that opportunity?

"Create first in theatre, in fiction, so we may be better prepared to create it outside afterwards."




As actors, we learn how to act, we demonstrate it, we teach others. Just as magicians teach people their tricks.
This is the philosophy of Augusto Boal. Everyone is an actor. Everyone can learn. Everyone can create theatre.

Be theatre.
