This mini-workshop, designed for people who have been curious about
the Theater of the Oppressed (TO) but have not been able to commit to
a full weekend workshop, will present an overview of the basic
exercises, methods and techniques of TO work. The workshop is open to
all, and no theater or drama experience is required. If you've been
wondering what this work is all about now is the time to find out!
Write to toplab@toplab.org to let us know you'll be coming.
