This event is an invitation for you all, actors and non-actors, locals and migrants, to participate in a Theatre of the Oppressed workshop on the topic of Work that takes place between the 8th and 9th of November. Perhaps you have had contact with theatre techniques before or not, perhaps you are curious and want to meet people, create new experiences or explore a question you have regarding your work; regardless, you are all welcome.
This intense training is the beginning of a journey together to explore techniques of empowerment such as Image Theatre and Forum Theatre, under the umbrella of Theatre of the Oppressed. The goal of the workshop is to engage its participants in conversations and an exploration of working conditions in Iceland, and alternative utopias.
By investigating the oppressions we face and finding ways to deal with them, we can travel through them and arrive at a place of empowerment. A young participant in a workshop in Hazelton, British Columbia (January 1991) described the process, “like going down into a dark mine. In the mine we found brilliant diamonds and brought them to the surface—but we had to go into the damp and dark to get them.” Good theatre is a search for truths; it is often hard work. The process is not complete until we take our discoveries back into reality and apply them. Let’s do this together!
/////////////////////
Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is a range of techniques, games and exercises, using embodied narrative to support the empowerment and liberation of individuals and their communities. The approach was developed by Augusto Boal in South America, and has since been used all over the world in the building of community, to dynamize social engagement, and to support individuals to realise their creative potential for personal and social transformation.
Forum Theatre is one of the forms of TO that uses a theatre play to confront an audience with a problem. The audience is then asked to engage with the problem by coming up on stage to propose different actions for the characters.
Theatre of the Oppressed is a rehearsal for life and the revolution.

This workshop is part of the documentary theatre project Working Changes, initiated by Ani Mărincean. The process of playwriting is based on interviews, workshops and gathering collective imaginaries around the subject of work. The final product aims to be a collectively-produced theatre show – participants at this workshop can join the process if they feel up to it.
Ani Mărincean (Cluj Napoca, Romania, 1989) is a cultural worker, artist, activist and theoretician, addressing subjects which stand at the intersection of art and socio-political concerns. She is interested in the collective representations of today’s society, the different approaches which come from the margins of society with a focus on critical reflection of the past and future. Across these subjects, the role of the artist in today’s society is always questioned and challenged.
Theatre that moves me most is one that speaks about our society in courageous ways. I believe that all theatre is political. All art is political. I believe in a world without oppression and I fight for it with theatre.
An independently organised event.
Everyone is welcome! You don’t need any previous experience or special skills to join the class, but spots are limited though: if you want to be sure you will have a place to practice, contact me before.
I don’t provide yoga mats! If you don’t have any, let me know a day in advance – I’ll try to find some

Mondays 5.30-6:45 PM this summer in Andrymi.

In Chile, people are manifesting because of the unfairness of a system that comes from Pinochet´s dictatorship 30 years ago and nowadays has the most expensive cost of living in Latin America; privatized water, health, education, and pensions for old people that makes unbearable to survive. It´s not only because of the rise of the Metro fare. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
Chile has been ranked with the most unequal economy (more than UK, Mexico or US).
From a peaceful country let´s bring into the spotlight the violation of human rights currently happening in Chile.
PRIVILEGE – RESPONSIBILITY
There will be a presentation followed by discussions.

Andrymi is not yet wheelchair accessible. There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral, there are name tags and pronoun buttons by the entrance.
Liebig 34 is an anarcha-queer-feminist and selforganized house-project in East Berlin (Friedrichshain). Since 1990, the house hosts numerous collectives; at the moment the separate collectives infoladen „Daneben“, the event space L34-Bar and the anarcha-queer-feminist living-project (without cis men).
The date of the trial for the legal enforcement of the eviction is on November 15th, 2019. On the blog liebig34.blogsport.de can be found a statement about the current situation: The owner “wants to snitch away the house, while the politicians are trying to keep our mouths shut. Both parties are awaiting a final court decision. We do not let any cis-men decide about the future of our anarcha-queer-feminist project, cause simply no one should decide about us, but ourselves.”
What does it mean if such a safer space is evicted?
We like to discuss this question with you, connect past and ongoing struggles and learn from the exchange of experiences.
Some may decide to support this struggle directly there. But not everyone can or wants to travel to support. Still, there is possibilities to support: The house apprechiates explicitely soli-action, soli-events, soli-money, soli-expressions and whatever comes to your minds, from everywhere.
So we invite you to the info event for updates about the current situation, and to exchange and discuss how to support 34 in their struggle!
Further we will present the Liebig34 based project “CosyColdCaféTalks” which deals with the topic Radical Softness and read texts of the blog cosycoldkitchentalks.noblogs.org linked with it.
Additionally we requested a video with impressions from the house.
All genders welcome!
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible.
Access to the House
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral, there are name tags and pronoun buttons by the entrance.
The kids room on the second floor can be used for childcare or as a calm space for people who need to be able to opt out of events and minimize input (sound, light, people).
The last week workshop proved to build an interest for the participants to continue work with Theatre of the Oppressed tools (event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/423418055220827/ ) . So I propose to not let our muscles forget what we’ve learned, let’s meet this week!
Thursday, 14th of November, at 20.00 we will meet and practice some Forum Theatre games, exercises and plays. Please let me know if you’ll come – so I can prepare for how many we will be. I think 10 places, up to 12 will be the maximum, in order to have space to move and time to get in depth with the forums.
People that did not attended the workshop before are welcome, but I’ll kindly ask you to write an email before to aniclujro@gmail.com to be sure that there will be space. Previous experience with theatre is welcome, but not necessary. Theatre of the Oppressed is build as an inclusive play space and the experiences of every day life are the best practice each person will come with.
This is the beginning of a learning process of Theatre of the Oppressed tools. After some sessions of practice together we can think of how this experiences can go out of the workshop set-up.
