This practical book serves as a comprehensive guide to the world of Theatre of the Oppressed, while also providing concrete and highly practical tools from Birgit Fritz to design a basic workshop for process-oriented theatre work or to develop forum theatre pieces. Birgit Fritz extensively discusses the working principles of emancipatory theatre practice and somatic learning, presents numerous examples from the lives and work of theatre groups, and highlights fascinating possibilities for how theatre can be successfully linked to social change through societal and political engagement, thereby using artistic means to foster a cross-generational, energetically peaceful, and democratic societal development.
