Join series 2 of our International Theatre of the Oppressed Masterclasses for Members.

Led by Terry O’Leary, Cardboard Citizens are hosting a new series of workshops joined by International Theatre of the Oppressed practitioners.

The workshops will explore games, exercises and Forum Theatre techniques that have been adapted especially for working remotely in these times. Guests facilitators will share tips and practical advice on how to successfully engage harder to reach communities.

We will use our creativity to inspire, share and learn from each other, as well as investigate ‘what next’ for Theatre of the Oppressed– it is open to Members aged 18 or over who have:

  • Taken part in Cardboard Citizens Forum Theatre Week Training
  • Have, or are wanting to, deliver Theatre Of the Oppressed workshops within the Cardboard Citizens community or have an interest in using Theatre of the Oppressed to engage other communities of interest
