REHEARSALS FOR THE REVOLUTION Theatre workshops with John McCann

About

At a time when words and gestures are increasingly challenged, manipulated and devalued and when even the smallest gesture has the capacity to be utterly revolutionary it’s time to ask yourself ‘How will I act?’.

The theatre itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution.
Augusto Boal
