@@OrganicActing Very many long-term homeless people will be dealing with mental health issues. Being so broad a definition, so hard to define, and affecting so many people, Mental Health is an area that is ideal for exploring oppression within it, from examples of people in crisis getting shot by police, to finding ways to be listened to by health workers. Thanks for your good work. As Boal said, 'Make the invisible visible'.
Question on the invisible theatre: are you supposed to get the spectators in public to participate or just act in public while they watch? Is the only purpose to market acting/theatre to the world or is there some kind of betterment in your acting to draw from this (outside of overcoming being inhabitious in front of strangers.)? Thanks
I would say firstly that invisible theatre assumes that as the public are present they are 'spect-actors'. You are necessarily asking them to act with you but just by being there they are part of the action. Secondly, I think it's both 'selling' theatre to the masses as well as communicating an issue or a theme.
How does my 'predominantly Method/Stanislavski obsessed community' feel about Boal?
Had an experience tonight, mental health theatre group. When ToP is laid out, very many support it, is about reclaiming the space.
That's very interesting. I never considered the mental health applications.

Hello! What are your sources?
These exercises are straight from Boal's workshops and his 'manifesto'.
