Youth and theatre of the oppressed [Elektronic resource] / Edited by Peter Duffy, Elinor Vettraino.

Duffy, Peter, QC. (Added Author). Vettraino, Elinor. (Added Author).

Summary:

This book contains a collection of essential essays from some of the most influential and exciting practitioners of Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) with youth from around the world.

"The great achievement of this project is its gathering of specific writings by some of the best theorist/practitioners in the movement for Theatre of the Oppressed and Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Chen Alon, Mady Schutzman, Brent Blair, Sanjoy Ganguly, Sonja Kuftinec, Johnny Saldana, many others, and of course Julian Boal - the table of contents alone promises a vigorous and provocative adventure. That it addresses one of the most important and insurgent practices - TO with young people - places it on the 'essential' list for those pursuing liberatory theatre and education." - Doug Paterson, Founder, Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed, Inc. and Professor of Theatre, The University of Nebraska at Omaha.
