Bacca Fellowship Project
I am exploring ways to integrate the techniques of Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal into my new course Performing Brazil. Boal’s “theatre of the oppressed” (which draws on Paulo Freyre’s pedagogy of the oppressed) introduces theatre games and exercises for “spec-actors” as a tool for inspiring social and political change. This current project is part of my larger goal to introduce more experiential and collaborative exercises and assignments in all my classes.
