Thought this would be of interest to those of us exploring alternative
ways of engaging folks around ideas, issues, community-building...
Sunday, December 18
from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon
TOPLAB and #OccupyWallStreet: Theater of the Oppressed and Self-
Organizing
in collaboration with OWS Education and Empowerment Committee and OWS
Performance Guild
facilitated by Elia Gurna and Marie-Claire Picher
at The Living Theatre, 21 Clinton Street, between Stanton and Houston
Streets, New York City (Clinton Street is a continuation of Avenue B
south of Houston Street)
Theater of the Oppressed is a tool for building groups and
communities, challenging power and practicing self- and social
transformation. This workshop is designed for people who are actively
working with others to create collective, people-controlled
alternatives to the capitalist system, and who seek to remake the
world into a compassionate and humane place, free of privilege,
exploitation, violence and domination of the many by the few.
Elia Gurna is an artist who uses Theater of the Oppressed in her work
as a teaching artist and youth worker.
Marie-Claire Picher is a co-founder (1989) of the Theater of the
Oppressed Laboratory (TOPLAB) and has worked and collaborated closely
with Augusto Boal until his death in 2009. One of the most experienced
TO practitioners in North America, she has presented thousands of
hours of TO facilitation training in New York and throughout the
United States, as well as in Chiapas, Tabasco, Mexico City, Guatemala
and Cuba.
Open to everyone. Support Occupy Wall Street!
