In addition to warm-up games, trust-building exercises and expressive movement, there are three main Theatre of Liberation techniques to be explored in these workshops.
• “Image Theatre” is a series of physical exercises and games designed to uncover essential truths about society, culture, self.
Using their own and others’ bodies as “clay”, participants “sculpt” statues — still images representing their experiences, feelings, ideas, oppressions, and/or dreams.

• “The Cop in the Head” is a group of techniques which help individuals explore the internal voices, fears, oppressions which prevent him/her from living fully. Rather than focus on external oppressors and power structures, these techniques bring to light the “cops” inside one’s head.
