Abstract
The Power Play work of Headlines Theatre has grown out of our contact with Augusto Boal. A Power Play is a week-long workshop in which the participants develop short theatre pieces on issues that are of concern to them. We then facilitate a forum with these theatre pieces in the participants’ community. We have facilitated many Power Plays across Canada with Native communities, women’s groups, peace activists, unions, cultural workers, counselors, prison inmates, refugees, and others. Headlines now works as the resident theatre company of the Vancouver School District offering ongoing Power Plays on race relations in senior secondary schools. We are continually training new facilitators to help respond to the workshop requests coming to us every week.1
