"The fact that a lot of Headlines Theatre's work is participatory terrifies some people, but let me tell you: Headlines' Artistic Director, David Diamond, works such magic — the theatre he creates is so compelling and often so much flat-out fun — that, once you're actually in the theatre, the pull to get up and take part can be stronger than the tide, more subliminally insistent than the force that guides the Ouija board."

Corporations in our Heads || An experiment that is our 2013-2014 BC/Alberta-wide project.
We're booking the BC/Alberta tour of Corporations in Our Heads for Fall/Winter 2013: 26 events across BC and Alberta and 7 around Vancouver. The project will launch on October 10, investigating how corporate messages have planted themselves in our collective psyche, and how we can use theatre to "evict" these messages.
We are looking for individuals and organizations who are interested in bringing this performance to their community (in BC/Alberta).
For more info, please contact Liza Lindgren at tour@theatreforliving.com or phone number 1.604.871.0508

...to help living communities tell their stories. THEATRE FOR LIVING has evolved from Augusto Boal's "Theatre of the Oppressed". Since 1989 Theatre for Living (Headlines Theatre) work has slowly moved away from the binary language and model of "oppressor/oppressed" and now approaches community-based cultural work from a systems-based perspective; understanding that a community is a complexly integrated, living organism.
Theatre for Living (Headlines Theatre) work is a worldwide leading example of theatre for social change; theatre for dialogue creation and conflict resolution; theatre for community healing and empowerment. Projects have taken place in collaboration with First Nations and multicultural communities through hundreds of theatre workshops, Power Plays and Forum Theatre events around the world on issues such as violence and suicide prevention, anti-racism workshops, youth empowerment, homelessness and mental health, othering, bullying and community development.
And don't miss our annual theatre based training workshops! They are attended by people from around the globe who apply THEATRE FOR LIVING techniques to mainstream theatre, interdisciplinary work, environmental action, education, counselling, conflict resolution and mediation training as well as community cultural development (CCD).
