Acting Out to Call In: Practicing Theatre of the Oppressed With High School Students

Abstract

This essay describes an arts-based youth participatory action research project titled Theater of Liberation, wherein students and educators practiced Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed techniques in order to explore their own identities, social justice issues, and solutions to oppressive systems and behaviors in schools. The essay includes student perspectives from the project, and highlights the importance of such perspectives in in-service professional development and pre-service teacher education.
