David Diamond of the Canadian theatre company Theatre for Living (Headlines Theatre) is offering a rare training in Berlin. Theatre for Living (TfL) combines Augusto Boal´s Theatre of the Opressed with the insights of systems theory, making it one of the most exciting developoments in social theater. An interactive and participatory form of theatre, TfL is an aesthetic and creative process for social change and conflict transformation - thus  attractive and lucrative for anyone in any field of work who strive for transforming our society.

TfL is about empowerment - about people being the experts in their own lives and being able to use theatre to make change. The process gives a community the opportunity to re-ignite 'emotional intelligence' - using a symbolic language to investigate alternative approaches to hard-to-talk-about issues. This is a first step towards dealing with difficult topics - moving towards open communication and realities that living communities want in an active and entertaining way.

We at the Berlin-based researcher/practitioner group Performing Transformation are organising the event and invite you to participate.

Gute Neuigkeiten für alle TheatermacherInnen im sozialen Bereich und solche, die es werden möchten. Diesen Sommer wird David Diamond vom Theatre for Living einen seltenen Workshop in Berlin geben. Die kanadische Gruppe verbindet Augusto Boal´s Theater der Unterdrückten mit den Erkenntnissen der Systemtheorie, die sie zu einem der aufregendsten Entwicklungen in angewandtem Theater macht. Dies ist unsere große Chance, uns den Flug nach Vancouver zu sparen und von seiner Anwesenheit in Berlin zu profitieren.

Die Berlin-basierte Forschungs- und Anwendergruppe Performing Transformation organisiert diese Veranstaltung. Wir werden Entwicklungen bezüglich Veranstaltungsort, Teilnahme, etc. veröffentlichen. Um Euch auf dem Laufenden halten zu können, meldet Euch bitte per E-mail oder RSS an.
