Legislative Theater

Legislative Theater is a participatory approach that combines drama and community engagement to address social issues. Developed by Brazilian theater practitioner Augusto Boal, it allows participants to act out scenarios related to specific legislation or policies. Audience members can interject and suggest changes during the performance, thereby influencing the outcome. This method encourages dialogue, highlights diverse perspectives, and empowers citizens to advocate for their needs. It serves as a creative platform for policy-makers and the community to collaborate and develop solutions that reflect the voices and experiences of those affected by the laws.
