This handbook not only provides a very wide-ranging introduction and
orientation to the world of the Theatre of the Oppressed, but Birgit
Fritz also presents concrete and practical assistance for structuring
basic workshops in process-oriented theatre work and in developing Forum
Theatre plays.
Birgit Fritz explores the working principles of emancipatory theatre
work and somatic learning in depth. She gives numerous examples of the
work and life of theatre groups and reveals fascinating possibilities of
how theatre for social change can be successfully linked with social and
political commitment, so that artistic process can bring about
cross-generational collaboration, develop social democracy, and operate
as an active force for peace.
