Come use theater to rehearse reality in this engaging and interactive series of classes. Based on the work of Brazilian director Augusto Boal, The Rainbow of Desire is a group of techniques that takes various desires out of our heads and puts them on stage where we can deal with them properly. Each session begins with fun theatrical games and warm-up exercises that build skills for role-playing stories generated from our common experiences. By putting our heads together and acting out the invisible elements of the situation, participants come up with strategies for confronting oppressors—both those in our daily lives and those inside our own heads. Called “the Boal method of theater and therapy,” The Rainbow of Desire has the power to transform individuals and communities.

No experience necessary. Free intro class, Monday November 1st, 7:30–9pm. Meets weekly on the following 4 Mondays: November 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th. Space is limited—please pre-register by calling 215-730-0982, or send an email to tophilly@gmail.com
