Abstract

Mixed Company is a Canadian Centre of Theatre of the Oppressed and an established popular theatre company since 1983.1 Based in Toronto, this not-for-profit theatre is a member of the Toronto Theatre Alliance and the Theatre for Young Audiences Association of Ontario. In addition to our regular professional season, Mixed Company also works with communities and individuals to develop options, alternatives and solutions to key social issues through an interactive dramatic process. Mixed Company’s mandate is to use theatre as a tool for social change, and to this end we blend the work of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed with the teachings of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society to create a unique style of Forum Theatre. The utilization of these “Sweet Medicine” teachings has been approved by the elders of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society in Phoenix, Arizona.
