THEATRE CHANGES MINDS!
Acting for Change is an opportunity to experience an introduction to Brazilian Theatre pioneer Augusto Boal’s core participatory Applied Theatre approach
 of Theatre of the Oppressed and practice around one of its major branches- Forum Theatre.
Change, Act!
 are experienced Applied Theatre practitioners Paul Formosa and Charlotte Hailey-Watts who have been facilitating these techniques with communities facing the harshest social inequalities for several years, mainly in London. Charlotte has lived in Hastings for several years and is excited to bring this technique to her local town.
Identifying as disabled and neurodivergent ourselves, we facilitate the techniques through an access-focused lens, tweaking them to suit the current social climate as Boal intended.
Change, Act! 
are currently funded by City Bridge and Comic Relief for projects in London. We have presented our work at the National Creativity, Health and Wellbeing Alliance Conference, University fo the Arts London, Battersea Arts Centre, and Union Chapel. Paul is also co-founder of RODlab London. We trained with Katy Rubin (formerly of Theatre of the Oppressed New York).
Light refreshments will be provided and there will be 2 x short breaks for comfort and accessiblilty.
