View Rights PortalAugusto Boal, geboren 1931 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilien, studierte Chemie und Theaterwissenschaften an der Columbia University, New York. Von 1956 bis 1971 war er Leiter des Teatro de Arena de São Paulo. Von 1971 bis 1976 lebte er in Buenos Aires, Argentinien, im Exil, von 1976 bis 19178 in Lisboa, Portugal, seit Herbst 1978 ist er Dozent an der Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. Wichtige Stücke: Revolução na América do Sul; Arena conta Zumbi; Arena conta Tiradentes; Torquemada; Murro em ponta da faca. Theoretische Arbeiten: Teatro do Oprimido e outras poéticas políticas; Técnicas Latinoamericanas de Teatro Popular; Duzentos exercícios e jogos para o actor e o não actor com ganas de dizer algo através do teatro. Ende der fünfziger, Anfang der sechziger Jahre wurde am Teatro de Arena in São Paulo ein neues Volkstheater-Konzept entwickelt, das alsbald in ganz Lateinamerika von sich reden machte. Dieses Konzept ist eng verbunden mit dem Namen Augusto Boal. In der von ihm gegründeten Theaterschule wurden in Kollektivarbeit Stücke geschrieben und geprobt, die sich an diejenigen richteten, die im Elend lebten. Boal spielte diese Stücke in den Dörfern, vor Analphabeten, in den Slums der Städte. Und er erfand neue Darstellungstechniken, die die Zuschauer aus ihrer passiven Haltung befreiten und sie selber zu Handelnden machten. 1971 wurde Boal verhaftet, in der Untersuchungshaft gefoltert. Nach seiner Entlassung mußte er Brasilien verlassen. Unser Band gibt Einblick in die Arbeit dieses wichtigen »Theatermachers« Lateinamerikas. Er enthält Texte zur Theorie und Praxis, Protokolle, Erfahrungsberichte.
Die berühmten Übungen und Spiele Boals liegen hier in einer auf den neuesten Stand gebrachten und stark erweiterten Ausgabe vor. Dabei geht es darum, Zuschauer in Handelnde zu verwandeln. Dieses in 25 Sprachen übersetzte Standardwerk richtet sich an jeden, der die Übungen beruflich oder im Alltag anwenden will – an Schauspieler wie an Laiendarsteller, Pädagogen, Lehrer und Therapeuten. Zugleich gibt der Band Einblick in die Arbeit »des wichtigsten Theatermachers Lateinamerikas« (The Guardian).
In 1994 the Arts Council of Great Britain brought together a number of theatre directors as part of the City of Drama celebrations. This is a collection of interviews and discussions with directors who have helped shape the development of theatre in the last 20 years. They include Peter Brook, Peter Stein, Augusto Boal, Jorge Lavelli, Lluis Pasqual, Lev Dodin, Maria Irene Fornes, Jonathan Miller, Jatinder Verma, Peter Sellars, Declan Donnellan, Ariane Mnouchkine, Ion Caramitru, Yukio Ninagawa and Robert Wilson. In addition to the art and craft of directing, there are discussions on multiculturalism; the "classical" repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; and theatre and society. Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. ;
Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on artists; it has historically offered safety to those escaping oppressive regimes in Europe and farther afield. In recent years it has welcomed performers, artists and intellectuals from all over the world, offering strategies for the practice of theatre in a new Europe of ever-shifting boundaries. This book, once again available in paperback, examines the creation and development of communities of actors, directors, designers and playwrights in Paris over the past thirty years. It shows how the willingness of the city to welcome international influences has enriched its creative life. Many of the most important trends and new developments in the art of theatre have been the direct result of the creative combination of influences from all over the world. This study demonstrates how the pioneering work of Brook, Boal, Mnouchkine, Lecoq and many others has been able to draw on this vibrant, multi-cultural mix, in turn creating new work that has enriched theatre's potential to enlarge our thinking and our imagination. ;
A theater actor in times of increasing repression. He is torn between social demands and the pursuit of self-realization. His characters and roles, which he doesn't have to play because they've become real inside of him, mean everything to him. A cultural ordinance threatens to take them away from him and the struggle against the new authority in the country calls into question his relationships and his own identity more than ever. In his first novel, David Misch conjures up an abysmally evil power that emerges from the middle of a society in which reflections and admonishing memories are fading. A concrete dystopia: warning.
Intimate portraits of some of the most beloved dancers in America
