 DE LA VISIÓN A LA ACCIÓN

TEATRO DEL OPRIMIDO Y JUSTICIA SOCIAL

SOBRE LOS TALLERES DE IMAGINACTION:

“De La Visión a la Acción” es un taller experimental diseñado para aprender el uso de distintas metodologías: El Teatro del Oprimido, Council Circle, Play Back Theatre, Psicodrama y la creación de rituales.

Los principios básicos de nuestro trabajo están inspirados en el Teatro del Oprimido (TdO), creado por el visionario brasileño Augusto Boal. El TdO es una forma de educación que usa el teatro como herramienta para la transformación social. Su filosofía de base es la de re-humanizar a la Humanidad. Originalmente se desarrolló a partir de la labor de Boal con población campesina y trabajadora pero hoy es usada en todo el mundo en activismo social y político, terapia,  para la construcción de comunidad, y legislación gubernamental, entre otras aplicaciones.

Originalmente diseñado para no-actores, el TdO usa el lenguaje universal del teatro para que los participantes puedan investigar sus vidas, identificar sus sueños y reinventar su futuro. El TdO invita al pensamiento crítico y al diálogo. Se trata de analizar, más que de dar respuestas. También se trata de “actuar” (llevar la acción) más que de hablar.

En nuestro trabajo abrazamos también la idea de que la comunidad es un organismo viviente y nosotros usamos el lenguaje del teatro para ayudar a ese organismo a simbolizar y explorar sus propias historias. Una vez que la historia es actuada en el escenario, la comunidad viva participa interactuando en el Teatro Foro y buscando alternativas para transformar las situaciones de opresión y de conflicto.

SOBRE EL ENTRENAMIENTO:

El taller está diseñado para entrenar a los participantes en el uso de estas herramientas con jóvenes y adultos. Utilizaremos juegos, Teatro Imagen, Teatro Foro, Arco Iris del Deseo y Policías en la Cabeza para explorar las historias que interesen a los participantes.

  • Igualmente utilizaremos los principios del Council Circle para procesar el trabajo de cada día. 
  • Éstas técnicas altamente adaptables pueden ser usadas inmediatamente por profesores, trabajadores sociales, terapeutas, activistas, organizadores de comunidad, artistas, actores, etc…en sus propios contextos. Y también para cualquier persona interesada en explorarse a sí misma y a la sociedad donde vivimos. ¡No se requiere ninguna formación teatral previa!

Workshop From Vision into Action/ Tools of ImaginAction. With Hector Aristizabal March 30’31 April 1, 2012 The Netherlands

March 29, 2012toApril 1, 2012March 29, 2012toApril 1, 2012

Workshop From Vision into Action/ Tools of ImaginAction. With Hector Aristizabal

FROM VISION INTO ACTION:
THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK
With Hector Aristizabal.
March 30, 31 and April 1, 2012.

“Tools of ImaginAction” offers a laboratory to learn through experience the use of several techniques and philosophies: Theater of the Oppressed, Playback Theater, Psychodrama, Council Circle, traditional storytelling and others. The basic principles of our work are inspired by the techniques of Theater of the Oppressed (TO) that were created by Brazilian visionary, Augusto Boal. Theatre of the Oppressed is a form of popular community based education which uses theater as a tool for social transformation. It’s basic philosophy is to re-humanize humanity. Originally developed out of Boal’s work with peasant and worker populations, it is now used all over the world for social and political activism, conflict transcendence, community building, therapy, and government legislation among other applications. Designed for non-actors, it uses the universal language of theatre as a springboard for people and whole communities to investigate their lives, identify their dreams, and reinvent their future. T.O. invites critical thinking and dialogue. It is about analyzing rather than giving answers. It is also about “acting” (taking action) rather than just talking. With T.O., people can and often do discover empowering solutions to their own struggles. We use theater as a laboratory to explore alternatives to conflict while at the same time having a great time doing it!

ABOUT THE TRAINING:
The intensive workshop is designed to train participants to use these tools with both adults and youth. Focus will be on community building games, Image Theatre, Forum Theatre, some Rainbow of Desire and Cops in the Head techniques.
 Each day will include time to discuss the previous day’s work and the art of facilitation, as well as applications in the field. For this process we will use “council circle” principles.
These highly adaptable techniques can be immediately applied by teachers, social workers, psychotherapists, activists, community organizers, and theatre artists, etc. in their own contexts. Also for anyone interested in exploring themselves and the society in which we live. Absolutely no theatre background necessary!
The workshop explores how a community can envision a desired goal and concrete ways of achieving that goal. This addresses the key question of how to build a desired goal out of a conflict from the perspective of conflict transformation. The focus of the work is relationship-centered and not content-centered. The point is to explore a dialogue – the end is less important than the means. By its nature, theatre for social change does not work to de-escalate conflict, but rather recognizes the ecology of conflict as an ebb and flow. In addition, the workshop will include a component to address individuals’ personal transformations, which contribute to actualizing and sustaining a greater vision.

HECTOR ARISTIZABAL was born in Medellín, Colombia where he had a distinguished career as director, actor, playwright, and psychologist. He has lived in exile in the U.S. since 1989  where he serves on the board of the Program for Torture Victims and brings theatre skills to his psychotherapeutic work with those who, like himself, are survivors of torture. As a therapist, he has provided services to prisoners, AIDS patients and their families, emotionally disturbed youth, and low-income immigrant communities. He co-founded the Colombia Peace Project-LA, and Theatre of the Oppressed-Los Angeles and leads TO workshops, based on the ideas and techniques of Brazilian theatre artist and activist Augusto Boal and aimed at using theatre to encourage creative solutions to address injustice. He has performed on stage and screen and his most recent solo work has been featured in theatrical venues, festivals, and human rights conferences around the world. He is creative director of the nonprofit organization, ImaginAction, which trains others in the techniques he has developed, aimed at community healing, community building and reconciliation.
Hector Aristizabal, has received the Otto René Castillo Award for Political Theatre.  The Otto Awards were established in 1998 to recognize and support the ongoing development of political theatre internationally. The Awards Committee, made up of past recipients, recommend a slate of honorees each year, and Hector’s work was selected for recognition on May 20, 2012.
