The Center for Creative Arts Therapy actors are trained in facilitating difficult conversations through the use of Theatre of the Oppressed. Stigma Free Actors create change by audience participation in a way that allows collective brainstorming, and challenges the audience members to think on their feet if their first strategy doesn’t work. This work is important, because it uses performance art — a medium anyone can enjoy — to bring awareness to issues that can so easily be ignored if you’re not the one affected.

Created by Brazilian visionary, Augusto Boal, Theatre of the Oppressed is a form of popular community-based education that uses theatre as a tool for transformation. Originally developed out of Boal’s work with peasant and worker populations, it is now used all over the world for social and political activism, conflict resolution, community building, therapy, and government legislation.

​

Theater of the Oppressed games, exercises and techniques have become powerful tools for many practitioners across the world. It is a participatory art form that is meant and applied as an empowering and liberating practice that inspires individual and collective transformation.

The Stigma Free Actors' interactive performances are universal, and even if a person might not face an issue covered during a performance, they provide tools to create better allies.
