Actuando en nuevos escenarios: diálogos entre teatro, violencia y adolescencia. El proyecto “vida en el arte”

Abstract

The project « Life in the Art « tries to implement a more intense relation between University and the community, contributing in a significant way to the solution of the problems of the teenagers in situations of risk caused by violence. It aspires to develop teenagers artistic and intellectual potential across scenic experiences, by means of activities that help them to understand the specificity of the oppression and the violence that they face daily and to adopt effective measures to overcome the situations of exclusion and discomfort. The project lies on the educational, political, social and artistic methodology of the Theatre of the Oppressed of Augusto Boal and that of the Pedagogy of the oppressed of Paulo Freire.
