Definition

  • Augusto Boal's work links directly to creative approaches to action research through the underlying value that the very people who are experiencing challenges have the capacity not only to name them but also to creatively address them through the theatre. A visionary Brazilian playwright and director, Augusto Boal lived between 1931 and 2009. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Action Research; Boal, Augusto]
