Augusto Boal's Image Theatre

Augusto Boal's Image Theatre is a participatory improvisational technique where audience members create physical images using their bodies to represent ideas, emotions, or social issues. These images serve as visual messages or "still pictures" that facilitate discussion, reflection, or exploration of a topic. The method encourages active engagement, allowing participants to express their perspectives non-verbally and collaboratively. It promotes understanding and dialogue by transforming abstract or complex issues into tangible visual representations, making it easier to analyze and address social themes collectively.
