- "There are many languages besides those that are written or spoken." What does Boal mean by this, and how does it tie into the discussions we've had in class about new definitions of literacy? Do you agree with his statement? Why or why not?
- What are the two different kinds of poetics that Boal discusses before explaining the type of poetics introduced by ALFIN? How is the "poetics of the oppressed" he talks about more appropriate for a program like ALFIN designed to teach literacy?
- What is the "technique for breaking repression" that Boal describes on page 150? How is this related to his claim that the theater is "rehearsal of revolution"?
Hello all, This blog will function as our go to spot for all things related to our section this Spring. Please feel free, in addition to commenting on blog prompts, to coordinate carpools and/or announce events, personal or professional, that you'd like the rest of the class to know about.
