While some people make theatre, we all are theatre.” – Boal
This diagram shows how Boal saw theatre and how it should evolve, that you can take societys history and politics and create a piece of theatre because without us even knowing it, that is theatre. Boal constantly kept evolving his theatre workshops to meet the needs of different variations of people. All the top parts of the tree are aspects to which Boal thought would captivate his audience and make an active relationship with not just peoples eyes but their minds too. He saw his workshops and theatre as a treaining ground not just for theatre but for life too. To me this tree has taken many aspects of modern day living and transformed it into different parts of theatre. From the roots of the tree there is history, polotics, economy these are all major headlines in our world today and if we take those experiences and add theatre to them you can influence people a lot quicker a lot more effectively.
