Practical experience with theatre development and production or at least one college level course in theatre is required.

This course provides students with an overview of the theories and methods of a seminal theatre arts educator, Augusto Boal, and the important influences that have informed his work. Students gain experience researching, devising and managing a performance of their own “Theatre of the Oppressed” event as part of a final project.

This course is offered in association with the Paul A. Kaplan Center for Educational Drama of the CUNY Creative Arts Team.
