Interactive Theater In Person AND Online

Thursday, December 19, 2024

I find that England, Ireland, and Scotland have a much greater amount of experimentation in how they make theater, whether it is where they perform, when they perform, how they perform, and how they relate to their audience. There also seems to be a certain cheekiness to British theater, perhaps thanks to Brecht and music hall, that didn’t quite make it to America (although the Actos of El Teatro Campesino). Hidden Track Theater seems to be an outgrowth of Augusto Boal’s ideas regarding Theatre of the Oppressed. Here’s a short video that shows them in action.
