Year 9 Drama



Ms Matulic's year 9 Drama students are studying Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed in Drama. This has mainly been on performing an Image and Invisible theatre which are based around social issues. These were quite powerful. Ours were around racism and abuse.
They found learning about the history behind Boal’s theatres quite interesting, especially the way people were treated back then. Performing an invisible theatre was quite entertaining. The audience didn’t realise it was a performance.
The Theatre of the Oppressed was a way to get people talking about social issues without being punished.
