Image Theatre

(11 votes, average 4.64 out of 5)

Another technique developed by Augusto Boal. Participants rapidly sculpt their own or each others' bodies to express attitudes and emotions. These images are then placed together and 'dynamised' or brought to life. The method is often used to explore internal or external oppression, unconscious thoughts and feelings. It is a flexible tool for exploring issues both with groups who are confident with drama and those with little or no experience. No-one has lines to learn or has to 'act' or move around in front of others. Image theatre can enable individuals to explore their own feelings and experiences in a less forbidding way than that offered by improvisational techniques.
