Second trimester Theatre students are learning techniques of Forum
Theatre developed by Augusto Boal, a theatre artist from Brazil who
uses theatre to support social action. Through a grant from COMPAS,
Open School actors have been working with Emily Kramer, a teaching
artist from Steppingstone Theatre, to create scenes based on social
issues at school. The actors will present their scenes to ELC
classrooms and SLC advisories and demonstrate techniques for stopping
violence and disrespect.
A few from the class will be featured at the annual All-State Theater Forum to be held at the Guthrie Theatre on March 1st.
