Opis (eng)

ABSTRACT: Applied theatre is an important tool for working with a community that has the power to instigate social change, as well as to promote sensitization of the community and its unification. The Theatre of the Oppressed is indeed one of applied theatre formats, which has, during its development, been used in a variety of contexts. It has gone from a drama technique which dealt only with socio-political issues in Brazil, to the present-day when this methodology is used all over the world as a universal tool for education and empowerment of vulnerable groups, but also as part of the process in creating works of art, performances and plays. As an educational technique, the Theatre of the Oppressed has proven to be highly effective when mapping, analyzing, and solving different social and individual problems through dramatic expression. The paper will explore the Theatre of the Oppressed, the theory and practice, by describing the process of the forum theatre step by step and by offering specific examples of usage of this methodology in both theatre and educational practices in Serbia. The paper will attempt to paint a better picture of what the Theatre of the Oppressed looks like in practice, what its roots and scope are, as well as to what extent this type of theatre is art, and to which it is and educational tool. Finally, it will explore how this theatre format has changed and adjusted to the social needs and circumstances.
