Theatre of the Oppressed - Participatory Theatre

Theatre of the Oppressed was devised by the Brazilian artist and activist Augusto Boal. Boal believed that theatre could be used as a powerful tool for social change. This series of participatory theatre techniques involves spectators becoming part of the performance hence the term "spect-actors".
As stated on the http://www.theatreoftheoppressed.org/ website Theatre of the Oppressed or
TO for short is "of, about, by and for the Oppressed".
