David Diamond


David Diamond, the Artistic and Managing Director of Theatre for Living (Headlines Theatre) in Vancouver, Canada is the originator of Theatre for Living (TfL). David´s book Theatre for Living: the art and science of community-based dialogue, which tells the whole story behind TfL, is a phenomenal one. Augusto Boal himself was highly appreciative of David´s work:
"I greatly admire the achievements of David Diamond and his Headlines Theatre. He is following his own path, doing extraordinary and groundbreaking work in several fields, like his work with many First Nations communities in Canada and the US, and his adaptation of Forum Theatre on TV and on the Internet. This book relates the experiences of his life in theatre. For what he has already done, is doing, and certainly will do, David Diamond deserves all our support."

David has directed approximately 500 community-specific projects on issues such as racism, civic engagement, violence, addiction, street youth, intergenerational conflict and homelessness. He has worked throughout Canada and USA, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brazil, various European countries, Rwanda, Namibia and Palestine, and has pioneered the development of live, interactive Forum television and web casting.

David is the recipient of numerous awards, including the City of Vancouver's Cultural Harmony Award, the Jessie Richardson Award for Innovation in Theatre, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the Fraser Valley and the Otto René Castillo Award for Political Theatre.

Dieses Buch erzählt von den Erfahrungen seines Theaterlebens. Für das, was er schon getan hat, tut und sicherlich tun wird, verdient David Diamond unser aller Unterstützung."
