Over the past two weeks, the team at Theatre of the Oppressed NYC has been so grateful to connect with the artists, teachers, arts workers, and organizers who joined us for Devise Dissent. Here’s some words that were shared back to us:

This month…

• Register for Spring Trainings
• World TO Day: Image Theatre Gift
• Call for Volunteers
• Wear Us!

Maybe the theatre itself is not revolutionary. But these theatrical forms are without a doubt a rehearsal of revolution. The truth of the matter is that the spectator-actor practices in a real act even though he does it in a fictional manner. While he rehearses throwing a bomb on stage, he is concretely rehearsing the way a bomb is thrown. Acting out his attempt to organize a strike, he’s concretely organizing a strike. Within its fictional limits, the experience is a concrete one.

- Augusto Boal, Theatre of the Oppressed, 1977
