DESCRIPTION:Information, discussion & community! Monday Night Forum!!\n\nOccupy Forum 
 is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue on all sides of these 
 critically important issues!\n\nOccupyForum presents Jiwon Chung and 
 friends: Theater of the Oppressed\n\nTheater of the Oppressed is a 
 collection of games, techniques and exercises for using theater as a 
 vehicle for personal and social transformation. It uses the dynamized human 
 body and the charged theatrical space as a laboratory for exploring power, 
 transforming oppression, and finding solutions to the fundamental problems 
 of conflict, inequality, injustice and human suffering.\n\nAugusto Boal's 
 Theater of the Oppressed has spread across the Americas and more than 70 
 countries worldwide. Theatre of the Oppressed is taught in classrooms and 
 in the streets, bringing together students, scholars, administrators, 
 policy makers, and community activists in the pursuit of social justice and 
 human rights. Its use is particularly timely today given the worldwide 
 attention to the rights of the indigenous peoples represented by the 
 adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous 
 Peoples in 2007.\n\nJiwon Chung is a professional actor, director, and a 
 key theorist of Theater of the Oppressed. He is the Artistic Director of 
 Kairos Theater Ensemble, Adjunct professor at Starr King School at the 
 Graduate Theological Union, and past President of the national organization 
 for Theater of the Oppressed. Author of numerous books, articles, and 
 performances, he is considered a pioneer in the integration of somatics, 
 theater of the oppressed, and socially engaged art. The focus of his work 
 is in the application of theater as a tool for social and political change, 
 using Theater of the Oppressed to challenge, resist, and transform systemic 
 oppression and structural violence and to redress large scale historical 
 atrocity and injustice. His approach to performance and social change is 
 informed by his background as veteran, martial artist, and 3 decades of 
 Vipassana meditation.\n\nAnnouncements will follow. Donations to 
 OccupyForum to cover our costs are encouraged; no one turned away!\n
