Augusto Boal
I am so grateful for the life of and saddened by the death of Augusto Boal yesterday. Boal’s work in bringing theater alive in all the spaces and places where humans live and interact is why I do what I do.
In every one of us there’s an actor – someone who acts – and a spectator, who watches the actor acting. We have the ability to watch ourselves doing things…
But we aren’t content, any of us, to be just actors and spectators of ourselves. We also write our own scripts for every scene we are involved in. We are in charge of the wardrobe of costumes to be worn wherever we are (at home, at work, during time off). We are also the directors who stage our own actions.
So every human being is a miniature theatre.…Please read more from this artist, humanitarian, visionary.
And celebrate the actor in you…your power to make something happen that hasn’t happened before.
