GREENFIELD, MA — The LAVA Center is proud to present a monthly free drop-in Theatre of the Oppressed workshop, facilitated by Ash Goverman, which takes place every second Friday evening from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
The workshop is based in the work of Augusto Boal, who developed Theater of the Oppressed in Brazil inspired by Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Boal describes theater as “rehearsal for the revolution.” His method transforms the audience from passive spectators into “spect-actors,” empowered to explore solutions to oppressive personal, social and political problems through theater and improvisation.
