The Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory (TOPLAB) presents Rainbow of Desire a three-day workshop.
Friday, September 28, 2012 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm;
Saturday, September 29 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and
Sunday, September 30 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
facilitated by Marie-Claire Picher
at the Brecht Forum
451 West Street (West Side Highway, at Bank Street, one block north
of West Eleventh Street)
New York City
Rainbow of Desire, an Image Theater technique, is a technique similar to Cop-in-the-Head. Where Cop uses games and exercises to recognize and confront internalized forms of oppression, Rainbow of Desire deals with conflicting needs, desires and wants among individuals and explores power relations and collective solutions to concrete problems. This is a method and set of techniques that is especially useful for teachers and educators who work with disadvantaged populations, social workers, psychologists and mental health professionals, and community activists and organizers who are involved with marginalized constituencies and constituencies which have traditionally been the victims of bias and discrimination. Rainbow of Desire is intended to examine conflict within groups, and to seek ways to resolve those situations of conflict.
This workshop is open to all and no prior theater experience is necessary to participate. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Please write to toplabnyc@gmail.com to let us know that you will be attending.
Marie-Claire Picher is a co-founder (1990) of the Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory (TOPLAB) and has worked and collaborated closely with Augusto Boal until his death in 2009. One of the most experienced Theater of the Oppressed practitioners in North America, she has presented thousands of hours of TO facilitation training in New York and throughout the United States, as well as in Chiapas, Tabasco, Mexico City, Guatemala and Cuba.
