Boalian Techniques

Boalian Techniques, developed by Augusto Boal, are methods used in theater to promote awareness and social change. They encourage participants to actively engage with issues by stepping into different roles or perspectives, fostering empathy and understanding. Techniques like the 'Forum Theater' allow audience members to become active performers, suggesting alternative actions to solve problems. The aim is to break down social barriers, challenge norms, and empower individuals to reflect critically on societal issues through interactive storytelling. Overall, these techniques transform traditional theater into a tool for dialogue, empowerment, and community engagement.
