There is a professor named Doris Sommer who has conduced theatre of the oppressed workshops for Occupy Harvard. I participated in one that was conducted in the Harvard Science Center on December 10. Basically we had facilitated discussions in 3 groups of 3 people about (dramatically portrayable) tragic situations for occupy Harvard/occupy movement and then performed them in an open space. Then our fellow spect-actors were called to intervene.

I thought it was a great experience for many reason and would love to see it reproduced for the public/non-university occupations.

 I did some research today and found out that  TOP LAB NYC had done some work with the Occupy Wall Street Folks and have sent an e-mail to them.

 Have you read, " Games for Actors and Non-actors "  Augusto Boal. 
 its a must read.
