A school of thought by researcher and academic King Teare.
Made public in 2023, King Teare's Theatre of the Enlightened is continuing the work of applied theatre practitioner Augusto Boal and the Theatre of the Oppressed but expanding on applied theatre techniques in order to suggest ways for preventative methods against oppression, and implying practical uses of theatre in order to explore ideas.
Preventative Theatre
The basis of the idea is to take legislation from the government and to turn it into stories exploring how the legislation maybe used to oppress and marginalise communities. The methos was made in order to prevent oppression by legislation.
Action Theatre
Essentially a method as a way into theatre making by simply doing any action and then the world to be created being mapped around that action. An accessible and straight forward method for all to introduce basic acting and theatre making skills.
Instant Theatre
Take an idea and bring it to theatre. If we take concepts and workshop them with a body of actors more scope will be deployed in the creation process. The ambition is to have a school for speaking and listening skills in every government political sphere.
Theatre Board
Using Playback Theatre and typical Improvisational Theatre tools, the method is a focus for exploration. A set of actors trained in the discipline will be ready to hear the audience and develop ideas in real time. Having a Joker/ Conductor there to facilitate the performances, the actors will be tuned to playing out the audience's ideas to provoke thinking and to develop them.
