Keynote Address by Augusto Boal Thursday, July 31 6:00 Pm – 7:00 Pm (Immediately Following the Awards Ceremony) Imperial Ballroom – 2Nd Floor ATHE’s 22nd Conference: Difficult Dialogues: Theatre and the Art of Engagement Keynote Address by Augusto Boal Thursday, July 31 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm (immediately following the awards ceremony) Imperial Ballroom – 2nd Floor ATHE opens its 22nd conference with a Keynote presentation by Augusto Boal, one of the most influential contemporary forces in the world of theatre. With our conference theme centered on the idea of “Difficult Dialogues,” Boal was the logical choice to deliver this important address to the ATHE community. Having spent the vast majority of his career discovering, developing and executing theatrical forms designed to confront personal, social and political oppression, the active pursuit of “difficult dialogues” has been at the very heart of his work. Boal’s “Theatre of the Oppressed” techniques are practiced in over 70 countries, and his books, such as Games for Actors and Non-Actors, can be counted among some of the most influential theatre-related texts in the world. Director, writer, politician and innovator, Augusto Boal embodies the essence of “difficult dialogues” in what may be one of his last appearances in North America. Brazilian Dr. Augusto Boal was raised in Rio de Janeiro. He was formally trained in chemical engi- neering and attended Columbia University in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Although his inter- est and participation in theatre began at an early age, it was just after he finished his degree at Columbia that he was asked to return to Brazil to work with the Arena Theatre in São Paulo. His work at the Arena Theatre led to his experimentation with new forms of theatre that would have an extraordinary impact on traditional practice. Augusto Boal is a Brazilian theatre director, social activist, and author of Theatre of the Oppressed, Games for Actors and Non-Actors, Rainbow of Desire, Legislative Theatre and Hamlet and the Baker’s Son. His work includes several different types of dramatic forms including image theatre, forum theatre, invisible theatre, legislative theatre, and cop-in-the-head. Developed as a response to and embodiment of Paolo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Theater of the Oppressed allows homogeneous groups of people to problem solve through interactive theatre techniques. Following the Wednesday paid workshop, a free performance, available to all attendees, will take place from 7 pm – 8 pm in the Grand Ballroom. Boal will sign copies of his book in the Exhibit Hall in the Grand Ballroom at 7:15 pm, immediately following his keynote address. July 31- August 3, 2008 Grand Hyatt Denver 12 Denver, CO.

Figuring translations as gifts positions both source and target cultures as givers and recipients and supplements over-used translation metaphors of betrayal, plundering, submission, or fidelity. As Marcel Mauss articulates, the gift itself desires to be returned and reciprocated. My project maps out the Hemispheric Americas as an independent translation zone and highlights non-European translation norms. Portuguese and Spanish have been sidelined even from European translation studies: only in Mexico and Brazil do we see autochthonous translation theories in Spanish and Portuguese. Focusing on translation strategies that value ii taboo-breaking, I identify poet-translators in Mexico and Brazil who develop their own translation manuals.

  • Counter-Narratives and Social Transformation: Insights from an Experience of Legislative Theatre Inspired by Augusto Boal
    Decimoprimera Conferencia Regional de América Latina y El Caribe Sociedad Internacional para la Investigación del Tercer Sector Quito, Ecuador, 18 al 20 de octubre de 2017 Thematic axe 4: Emerging research-action issues in Latin America and the Caribbean Counter-narratives and social transformation: insights from an experience of legislative theatre inspired by Augusto Boal Chantale Mailhot1, Marlei Pozzebon2 and Fabio Prado Saldanha3 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to reflect and discuss about the potential of social transformation of an experience of forum theatre – more particularly the Boal’s legislative theatre form – using a counter-narrative perspective. At the one hand, Augusto Boal – theatre director, dramatist, theorist, writer and teacher – was the founder of the movement “theatre of the oppressed”, a repertory of techniques and tactics that seeks to motivate people, restore true dialogue, and create space for participants to rehearse taking action. The underlying vision is that everyone has the capacity to act in the theatre of their own lives, everybody is at once an actor and a spectator. People are “spect-actors!”. Among the different types of interventions conceived by Boal, one that is prominent is the forum theatre, a short play or scene that dramatizes a situation, with an oppressive ending, to provoke spect-actors to react. In its turn, the legislative theatre is essentially a forum theatre performance, but that leads the audience to further discuss policies or laws that could help bring about some of the solutions the engaged audience - “spect-actors” - had offered during the performance. At the other hand, we have Mise au Jeu, an organization of theatre-intervention.

TEATRO NEGRO: A REALIDADE DE UM SONHO SEM SONO Christine Douxami* A denominação de teatro negro pode tanto ser aplicada a um teatro que tenha a presença de atores negros, quanto aquele caracterizado pela participação de um diretor negro, ou, ainda, de uma produção negra. Uma outra definição possível seria a partir do tema tratado nas peças. Levando em conta a sobreposição dessas várias definições é que iremos problematizar as visões que têm como referência o que é teatro negro no Brasil. Neste artigo, buscamos revelar ao grande público a existência, dos anos 1940 até hoje, de numerosos grupos de teatro negro no Brasil. Através de um trabalho etnográfico nas cidades de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Salvador, resgatamos as diferentes experiências desse ato ar- tístico-militante.

  • Dulcinéia Catadora: Cardboard Corporeality and Collective Art in Brazil
    Vol. 15, Num. 3 (Spring 2018): 240-268 Dulcinéia Catadora: Cardboard Corporeality and Collective Art in Brazil Elizabeth Gray Brown University Eloísa Cartonera and Cardboard Networks From a long history of alternative publishing in Latin America, Eloísa Cartonera emerged in Argentina in 2003, and sparked a movement that has spread throughout South and Central America and on to Africa and Europe. The first cartonera emerged as a response to the debt crisis in Argentina in 2001 when the country defaulted causing the Argentine peso to plummet to a third of its value. Seemingly overnight, half of the country fell into living conditions below the poverty line, and many turned to informal work in order to survive. The cartoneros, people who make their living salvaging and reselling recyclable materials, became increasingly present in the streets of Buenos Aires. With the onset of neoliberal policies, people mistrusted and rejected everything tied to the government and economic powers and saw the need to build new societal, political, and cultural models. Two such people were the Argentine poet, Washington Cucurto, and artist Javier Barilaro. Distressed by the rising number of cartoneros and the impossible conditions of the publishing market, Cucurto and Barilaro founded Eloísa Cartonera. Thirteen years later, Eloísa is still printing poetry and prose on Xeroxed paper and binding it in cardboard bought from cartoneros at five times the rate of the recycling Gray 241 centers. The cardboard covers are hand-painted in tempera by community members, including cartoneros, and then sold on the streets for a minimal price, just enough to cover production costs.

  • Augusto Boal 1931–2009
    Augusto Boal 1931–2009 I came to know of Augusto Boal’s theory of theatre long before I came to know Augusto Boal. It was in 1979 and I was teaching my first class in the theatre department of Mexico’s National University (UNAM) as I worked on my dissertation. I had been assigned three classes a semester—each with about 80 students. The first day of class, a student asked me how theatre could bring about the revolution. My doctoral work at the University of Washington had not prepared me for this. Still, I ventured a response: theatre does not bring about revolutions. Theatre does other things—it can change the ways in which people envision social conflict; Augusto Boal at the Celebration of the it can help spectators identify issues that had World Theatre Day, 27 March 2009, Paris. not seemed apparent before; it can energize (Photo © Antoine Veteau 2009) populations around problems, and so on. But it doesn’t bring about revolutions. The next day, I had 20 students in each of my classes. If theatre could not bring about the revolution, of what possible use could it be? What could theatre do? My entire life as a theatre and performance scholar has been an attempt to answer that question. Boal’s work was never the “answer” to my question, but he became one of my most important guides and mentors. My earmarked copy of Teatro del oprimido had a pirated Susan Meiselas Nicaragua photograph as its cover. The Sandinista fighters were photographed as puregestus in the Brechtian understanding of powerful, recognizable, and quotable social gestures that performed the revolutionary hope of the late 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s throughout Latin America.

Dessa forma, músicas, poesias, contos e prosas marcam a construção da identidade de um povo e, por isso, esta não pode ser reduzida às regras impostas pela indústria cultural, pois, se tais preponderarem, inibe-se a possibilidade de resistência política e cultural, como veremos a seguir. A arte expressa momentos da história, diz quem nós somos, pensamos e desejamos. Nesse sentido, citamos como exemplo as músicas de Renato Russo (e de sua banda Legião Urbana), que faziam toda uma geração dos anos de 1980 se emocionar e se identifi car com letras que expressavam um momento histórico e político da juventude brasileira. Nessa lógica, podemos igual- mente considerar a música de Villa-Lobos e sua maestria com “O Guarani”, que se tornou o símbolo da música clássica nacional; por fi m, mas não menos importante, Chiquinha Gonzaga, inaugurando e ampliando o espaço da mulher na música brasileira.

Desde la diáspora latinoamericana, el autor se vuelve una referencia internacional gracias a sus métodos y procedimientos que podrían configurar aquello que en el área de las artes escénicas podría denominarse como sistema Boal. El intento de reflexionar sobre esa trayectoria pasa por examinar uno de los íconos del movimiento artístico de los años 60, el Teatro Arena, una dramaturgia que combinaba el arte con la política durante la dictadura brasileña, las lecturas en el período posterior y, en particular, el campo de las universidades y academias brasileñas de formación de profesionales en el área del teatro.
