Late as usual! I don't feel like I have tons to say. I really thought the photograph exercise Boal was talking about (the one the literacy people did) was cool. I don't know why. A picture's worth a thousand words? I don't know. I how it tied directly into image theater, though. I like the idea of expressing, through media other than spoken or written word, difficult topics or even simple questions with difficult answers. I also really like his anecdotes! Some of them get a little tedious, but on the whole his personal experiences are really interesting because it's his philosophy in action. Using theater to free people from the confines of society and from their oppression is just such a neat and different idea. I feel like a book of his experiences doing socially relevant and even liberating theater would be way more meaningful than his attempts to find a philosophical and historical foundation for theater as oppression. Theater as a tool of liberation is inspiring and, with his stories to back it up, sounds much less radical and feels like much less of a stretch intellectually. That's just me though. At any rate, I look forward to writing our own pieces and trying to figure out how what he and Spencer are writing about can apply to our own lives and our society's problems.
