The Boal Method

The Boal Method, developed by Augusto Boal, is a theatrical and psychological approach that uses role-playing and improvisation to explore personal and social issues. It encourages participants to act out scenarios to gain insight, empathy, and understanding of different perspectives. This method is often used in therapy, education, and community work to promote self-awareness, problem-solving, and social change by actively engaging individuals in dialogue and reflection through dramatization. It transforms participants from passive observers into active participants, fostering empowerment and insight through creative expression.
