Join Julian Boal, son of Augusto Boal and a renowned expert in Theatre of the Oppressed, for an engaging and practical workshop on the role of the Joker in Forum Theatre. This dynamic training session, taking place in Edinburgh at the Norton Park Conference Centre, offers a unique opportunity for both beginners and experienced facilitators to delve into the critical role of the Joker in shaping and guiding the questions explored in Forum Theatre.

In traditional Forum Theatre, we often see issues being personalized and isolated, failing to address the systemic structures that underlie the problems. This workshop aims to challenge this approach by focusing on portraying oppressive systems rather than labeling individuals as "bad." By doing so, we can shed light on the broader societal issues at play and avoid placing the burden solely on individual victims to fight against larger oppressions.

Julian Boal, an internationally recognized expert in Theatre of the Oppressed, brings his wealth of knowledge and experience to this workshop. With his extensive work in over 20 countries and contributions to the development of Theatre of the Oppressed festivals worldwide, Julian offers a unique perspective on the power of theatre in addressing social inequalities.

The Joker's role is vital in shaping the questions posed to the audience and facilitating their responses. This workshop will explore how to frame questions that are respectful and considerate of the perspectives of the oppressed. It will also provide guidance on maintaining a balance between hope and despair, ensuring that false expectations are not promoted.

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to learn from Julian Boal as he returns to Scotland after an extended absence. Hosted by Active Inquiry, a leading professional theatre company specializing in Theatre of the Oppressed, this workshop is open to a wide range of participants, including teachers, drama workers, activists, and social workers. No prior experience is necessary.

The workshop will take place from May 3rd to May 5th, from 10am to 5pm each day. Tickets are priced at £140 for concessions and £200 for full price. Limited supported places are available for £50 for those unable to afford the concession rate. For more information and to secure your place, please contact gavin@activeinquiry.co.uk. Don't miss out on this transformative training opportunity.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
