Joker Forum Theatre As A Classroom Teacher: Qualitative Research Data., Nadarajan Thambu
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
The task of maintaining the focus and interest of students on the teaching and learning process in the classroom is still a challenge for teachers of Moral Education subject. Students who do not pay attention, cannot understand moral values, accept and show commitment to them. The failure of students to focus will also fail the effort to produce moral human beings. Meanwhile, the role of theater in the field of education is also undeniable. Therefore, a form of community theater named Forum Theatre has been used as a pedagogy of teaching Moral Education among preservice teachers. In the context of …
The Very Fine Line: Utilitarian Aesthetics And Threshold Politics In Now You See Me Moria, Nik Rye
The Very Fine Line: Utilitarian Aesthetics And Threshold Politics In Now You See Me Moria, Nik Rye
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Now You See Me Moria (est. August 2020) is an international socially engaged art collective that brings visibility to the inhumane conditions of the Moria refugee camp, aiming to influence European Union migration policies. This paper examines the collective’s work across digital and physical gallery spaces, analyzing the role of utilitarian aesthetics in both image and process, and situating the project alongside the migratory journey of a specific member. The resonance of this initiative, and the actions it has catalyzed, reveals a societal push to disrupt the contemporary art mainstream in favor of an emergent movement that privileges lived experience …
This Is Theatre: Deconstructed Repetition And Theatre-In-Education During Covid-19, Subbah Mir
This Is Theatre: Deconstructed Repetition And Theatre-In-Education During Covid-19, Subbah Mir
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
This project report is a practical application of deconstructed repetition model, I devised by merging Augusto Boal and Baz Kershaw, in an undergraduate Composition Writing class in Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, U.S. As the facilitator Deconstructed repetition means cost-effective repetition of personal and local stories for introspection in order to engage the community members, address the oppression, and celebrate the local culture. The four stipulations of the models are: avoiding the Western canon (or hegemonic voice), making the audience(s) see direct and indirect oppression, circumventing commodification while maintaining audience interest, and celebrating local culture instead of downright criticizing it. …
Isto É Teatro: Repetição Desconstruída E Teatro Na Educação Durante A Covid-19, Subbah Mir
Isto É Teatro: Repetição Desconstruída E Teatro Na Educação Durante A Covid-19, Subbah Mir
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Neste artigo, discuto o uso do círculo de narrativas (Roadside Theatre, 1999) denominado como um "modelo de repetição desconstruída" para o ativismo comunitário, capaz de conectar os problemas pessoais dos alunos com as questões sociais/comunitárias. Iniciei este projeto com um curso síncrono online de Redação de Textos para alunos de graduação. Ao final do semestre, os alunos participaram dinamicamente do ativismo comunitário por meio da exploração de questões socio-pessoais, o que levou a diversas iniciativas empreendidas posteriormente pelo Grêmio Estudantil da universidade. Este projeto foi conduzido para testar o Modelo de Repetição Desconstruída desenvolvido como uma ferramenta eficaz de ativismo …

Enraizados No Amor E Na Solidariedade: Acampamentos Estudantis Por Uma Universidade Popular, Robin Brandehoff
Enraizados No Amor E Na Solidariedade: Acampamentos Estudantis Por Uma Universidade Popular, Robin Brandehoff
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
No semestre acadêmico do outono de 2023, universidades em todo o país testemunharam uma onda de acampamentos estudantis pedindo o cancelamento de verbas universitárias a Israel e suas operações militares (Reeve, 2023). Esses acampamentos incitaram prisões de estudantes, professores e membros da comunidade acadêmica; brigas violentas entre manifestantes e contramanifestantes mascarados; e cancelamentos de formaturas universitárias para a geração da COVID-19 que também não conseguiu vivenciar a formatura do ensino médio. No entanto, esses acampamentos também criaram aulas no campus, oportunidades para alunos e administradores aprenderem uns com os outros e para a construção de comunidades no campus que se …

Rooted In Love And Solidarity: Student Encampments For A Popular University, Robin Brandehoff
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
In the spring academic semester of 2024, universities across the nation saw an uptick of student encampments asking for a divestment of university funds from Israel and its military operations (Reeve, 2023). These encampments have incited arrests of students, faculty, and community members; violent brawls between protesters and masked counter-protesters; cancellations of university graduations for the COVID-19 generation who did not get to experience their high school graduation either—and yet these encampments have also created on-campus teach-ins, opportunities for students and administrators to learn from another, and for the building of campus communities which extend beyond the classroom and school-sanctioned …

Re-Examining, Re-Empowering: The Effect Of Contextualizing Testimonial Theatre On Spect-Actors, Felicia Owusu-Ansah
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
To be empowered, freed from rejection, silence and trauma, one may have no choice but to speak up. But how does the silenced speak in the presence of the oppressor? At this point, theatre (of testimony) became the most useful tool to break the silence among irregular returnees in Akuma, Ghana. This qualitative study article reports on the healing and empowering effects of Testimonial Theatre on spect-actors during its use for dissemination of research findings to the researched community. It aims to show how Testimonial Theatre’s effects of compassion and empathy led to the resilience of human essence, breaking silence, …

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
O artigo é um resumo do livro que sairá em breve onde depois de mais de uma década após a morte de Augusto Boal, pouco se sabe sobre as origens fascinantes do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo traça o caminho histórico, político e artístico que levou Augusto Boal a desenvolver sua metodologia. Indo desde do início do contato de Boal com o teatro até a sistematização da 1ª técnica do Teatro do Oprimido, o Teatro-Jornal. O autor combina narrativas históricas com uma análise profunda do projeto teórico e prático do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo não só traz à tona …
Theater Of The Oppressed And Augusto Boal, A Marxist Process, Geo Britto
Theater Of The Oppressed And Augusto Boal, A Marxist Process, Geo Britto
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
The logic of capitalism is to think of each individual in an isolated way, where only they add up and we would have a social life as products separated from the objective and subjective relations that we realize. In the case of the artists this is a stronger logic still, often they themselves reinforce this idea as if they were in their ivory towers creating their theory and practice that they deliver magnificently to the society. Augusto Boal as every human being, was a collective being, fruit of various cultures, languages and different communities and a product of the social …
Relações Entre Teatro E Política No Trabalho Teatral De Boal No Pós-1964: A Coletivização Do Fazer Artistico Como Expressão Autoconsciente Da Produção Estética, Patricia Freitas
Relações Entre Teatro E Política No Trabalho Teatral De Boal No Pós-1964: A Coletivização Do Fazer Artistico Como Expressão Autoconsciente Da Produção Estética, Patricia Freitas
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Este artigo empreende um olhar histórico sobre o trabalho teatral realizado por Augusto Boal após a instauração da ditadura militar no Brasil, em 1964. Em primeiro lugar, buscaremos compreender como o trauma histórico gerado com o golpe redimensionou a prática artística socialmente engajada no país e colocou em tensão a teoria e a prática produzidas por Augusto Boal. Nessa esteira, este estudo verificou que a reflexão proposta por Boal sobre a cena brasileira possuía um fundo mais amplo e estava embebida em um movimento de crítica cultural, com vistas à criação de um programa de ação estético-política.
Relationships Between Theatre And Politics In Boal’S Post-1964 Theatrical Work: The Collectivization Of Artmaking As A Self-Conscious Expression Of Aesthetic Production, Patricia Freitas
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
This essay aims to bring a historical perspective to the theatrical work carried out by Augusto Boal after the establishment of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964. The historical trauma generated by the coup re-dimensioned the socially engaged theatrical practice in the country. In Boal's case, it created important contradictions between his theory and practice. Along these lines, this study verified that the reflection proposed by Boal on the Brazilian scene had a broader background and was embedded in a movement of cultural criticism, with the aim of creating an aesthetic and political program of action.
O Mecanismo Da Empatia No Teatro Fórum, Ali Mansouri
O Mecanismo Da Empatia No Teatro Fórum, Ali Mansouri
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Mesmo que o conceito de “empatia” não tenha sido mencionado mesmo nos textos mais recentes sobre performance, sempre houve uma disputa entre os teóricos do teatro em diferentes momentos acerca dos impactos da empatia no público. Embora alguns tenham considerado a empatia como a base do teatro, outros a viam como um terreno perigoso que pode produzir sentimentos inapropriados e prejudiciais no público. Descobertas recentes dos neurocientistas revelaram que a empatia (tanto com personagens fictícios ou reais) é inevitável para os seres humanos, e seu mecanismo inconsciente está presente em qualquer indivíduo mentalmente saudável. Creio que tal habilidade inerente pode …
The Mechanism Of Empathy In Forum Theater, Ali Mansouri
The Mechanism Of Empathy In Forum Theater, Ali Mansouri
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Even though the concept of “Empathy” was mentioned in the earliest texts about performance, there has always been a dispute among theatre theorists in different eras regarding its impact on the audience. Although some have considered empathy as the basis of the theatre, others viewed it as a dangerous ground that can result in inappropriate and unhealthy feelings in the audience. Recent findings of neuroscientists have revealed that empathy (with both real people and fictional characters) is inevitable for human beings, and its unconscious mechanism exists in every mentally healthy person. I believe that this inherent ability can allow us …

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
Quando nossa saúde mental está tão desgastada quanto a dos nossos estudantes, o teatro aplicado pode nos servir de base e de guia para ajudar a transformar nosso trauma coletivo em ação, permitindo com que os estudantes vislumbrem uma cura individual e coletiva. Neste artigo, reflito sobre o processo de concepção de C(U)VID-19: Reflections from Students of the Pandemic, uma performance de 50 minutos, multi-disciplinar e virtual, criada e produzida ao longo de duas semanas pelos estudantes do meu curso de teatro para não-especialistas, em 2021.

Using Applied Theatre For Collective Healing And Grief Processing In The Classroom, Sarah Fahmy
Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed
At times when our mental health is equally as strained as our students, applied theatre may ground and guide us to support us turn our collective trauma into action and enable students to envision their individual and collective healing. In this article, I reflect on the process of devising C(U)VID-19: Reflections from Students of the Pandemic, a 50-minute, multi-disciplinary virtual performance, conceived and produced in under two weeks by the students in my theatre for non-majors class in 2021. I share examples of how applied theatre enabled students to lead with empathy and develop friendships while authoring their own …

This is a short article introducing the Wildcard Workbook, and the journey we took to translate our understanding of the core ethics of Theatre of the Oppressed into a resource for all kinds of facilitators. In our years of practice, we wished for a book we couldn’t yet find: a truly accessible, visual, and interactive guide that could prepare us to work with a community in real-time. That was the spark for the book, and the values of the project grew from there. In this essay, we reflect on our collaboration process, and on the ways this book may be …

Em sua escrita, também acirra reflexões sobre a auto identificação dos brasileiros como latinos. O …

This review was originally written as a review exercise for the Latin American Theater course, offered by the Performing Arts College at Paulista University (UNESP) in 2022, and taught by professors Patricia Freitas and Paula Autran. Based on some topics presented in class, the author unravels the Brazilian play Ponto de Fuga in its dramaturgy and creation process, while discussing the successive erasure of the history and memory of colonized peoples, more specifically in Latin America. It also stirs up reflections on the self-identification of Brazilians as Latinos. The review aims to bring into debate the relations of oppression and …

Este artigo introduz uma nova abordagem pedagógica intitulada Pedagogia Hānai, que engloba identidade cultural, linguagem e relações familiares para contrariar narrativas dominantes em torno de sistemas educacionais históricos e coloniais. Derivado de um estudo mais amplo sobre mentorias informais (Brandehoff, 2020) e conceitos indígenas de conexão familiar e comunidade, a Pedagogia Hānai é prática; constrói alianças com alunos, famílias e membros da comunidade; aprofunda questões ligadas a opressões raciais, culturais e econômicas; enfoca a Autenticidade entre os educadores e nas práticas de aprendizagem; e incentiva o ensino exploratório através de inter-relações de tradição cultural e de métodos modernos de aprendizagem. …
