Boal Theatre Techniques

Boal Theatre Techniques, developed by Augusto Boal, are innovative methods used to promote social awareness and personal empowerment through participatory theatre. They encourage individuals to actively engage in performance, explore different perspectives, and address social issues by embodying diverse roles. Techniques like the "Image Theatre" and "Forum Theatre" facilitate dialogue, empathy, and problem-solving, allowing audiences to not only watch but also influence the narrative. These methods transform traditional theatre into a collaborative tool for reflection and change, fostering a deeper understanding of societal challenges and empowering participants to envision and enact solutions.
