The dialogues initiated in this text ultimately invite, if not implore, readers to imagine and create a theatre in which youth can engage political issues and remodel their world.' - Theatre Journal</p> <p>"The great achievement of this project is its gathering of specific writings by some of the best theorist/practitioners in the movement for Theatre of the Oppressed and Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Chen Alon, Mady Schutzman, Brent Blair, Sanjoy Ganguly, Sonja Kuftinec, Johnny Saldana, many others, and of course Julian Boal - the table of contents alone promises a vigorous and provocative adventure. That it addresses one of the most important and insurgent practices - TO with young people - places it on the 'essential' list for those pursuing liberatory theatre and education." - Doug Paterson, Founder, Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed, Inc. and Professor of Theatre, The University of Nebraska at Omaha</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chen Alon, Tel-Aviv University, Israel Brent Blair, University of Southern California, USA Augusto Boal, founder of Theatre of the Oppressed Julian Boal, Group of Theatre of the Oppressed-Paris, France Diane Conrad, University of Alberta, Canada Andrea Dishy, City University of New York, USA B.
