Augusto Boal, creator of the Theatre of the Oppressed (TOP), passed away this Saturday May 2nd at 78, and I extend my deepest condolences to his immediate family and the wider family of people inspired and galvanized by his teachings. TOP is a particularly powerful method for engaging mind/body/soul in deep political excavation: Where does power lie? How is it being used against me, my family, my community? How do I create a better world and challenge oppression without recreating it?
