PERFA 050 - Theatre for Social Justice: Interactive Theatre

Lower Division

An introduction for actors and non-actors to the performance practice and underlying philosophy of the radical theatre-maker Augusto Boal. Through games, exercises, and performance projects, students will question and critique the dynamics of power, class, and privilege in contemporary society, and rehearse alternative actions aimed at social transformation. The course builds confidence and a sense of broader possibilities for improvisation, both on stage and in life.
