The Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory of New York
is a group of individuals assembled
without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation or
physical limitation. It is a collective of
educators, theater workers and artists who have
extensively trained and collaborated with
Augusto Boal, founder of the Theater of the Oppressed.
The purpose of The Theater of the
Oppressed Laboratory of New York is to provide a
forum for the practice, performance and
dissemination of the techniques of the Theater of the
Oppressed. The Laboratory works with
educators, human service and health care workers,
union organizers and community activists
who are interested in using interactive theater as an
organizing tool to analyze, and explore
solutions to, problems that arise as a result of
conditions brought on by discrimination and
injustice in the workplace, school and community. |
