A valuable introduction to the Theatre of the Oppressed April 13, 2000
37 out of 39 found this review helpful
This text represents a valuable introduction to the theories and practice of Augusto Boal. GFA, unlike its predecessor the Theatre of the Oppressed, contains practical exercises as well as an introduction to the important theoretical work of Boal. Boal's major innovations (such as Forum Theatre and Image Theatre) are introduced, discussed, and illustrated with examples, thus effectively allowing the reader to enter into the dialogue of using and refining the techniques. I would recommend this to any performer, artist, educator, or theatre worker who is unfamiliar with the work of Boal, and seeks new methods of understanding and transforming practice, and empowering both audience and participants.

This is excellent for my improvisation. Adapted the "ritual gesture" for my course. A must-have - honestly.
Augustus Boal for all ages April 12, 2000

Definitely a must-have in all drama classes. Don't recycle the same old exercises which have nothing to do with the world around us - the work of Boal is accessible and important to students of the theater of all ages.
One of the best practical books and socially impoertant in history. May 1, 2009

The book was in very good condition and shipped quickly. I paid about $20 less than my college's bookstore was charging for it.
