Boal was elected as a Vereador (Brazilian equivalent of city council seat in US politics) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 but he was not re-elected in 1996.

 Harvard Gazette: Augusto Boal's 'Theatre of the Oppressed'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Oppression, according to Augusto Boal, is when one person is dominated by the monologue of another and has no chance to reply.
Boal's life is devoted to giving those who are in this one-down position the tools with which to express themselves and discover a way out of their powerlessness.
The key to Boal's theater is the "spect-actor," an audience member who is invited onstage to take part in the drama.

 Cape Heart Boal
Boal explains that some people stopped themselves from taking political actions because they had "cops in their heads"-fears that persisted after the oppressor no longer had "real" power over them.
For Boal, dynamization is also connected to catharsis-but it refers to the purging of the fear that keeps the spectator from fighting oppression rather than to the purging of the spectator's desire to act (due to vicarious identification with the actors).
Boal recently stated that neither Cop-in-the Head nor Rainbow of Desire was the right name for that series but he had not yet determined a name he found more suitable.

In Boal's work around forum theatre, invisible theatre and the theatre of the oppressed we see some fascinating expressions of socio-cultural animation.

Second, Boal has picked up on the concerns of Stanislavski and the need to move beyond the mechanisation of the actor's body into allowing emotion to shape the final form of the actor's interpretation of a role.

 NYCB - Peter Boal farewell - Susan Reiter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The prolonged ovation at the conclusion of the ballet required Boal to appear twice alone in front of the curtain, after several bows with his muses, and before it was over many in the audience were giving him a standing ovation.
The Sarabande soloist is a role Boal has long performed, and he did it for one last time—with a vibrantly jazzy attack blended with a mature courtliness—earlier in the week.
The generous program—and Boal's brilliant NYCB career—came to a close with Robbins' "Opus 19." Boal has always seemed particularly in touch with the quiet mysteries of this demanding role, originated by Baryshnikov in 1979.

 Boal and Beyond
Augusto Boal is known internationally as the creator of Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), a body of theatrical techniques that physically activate spectators and empower them to rehearse alternatives to their collective oppressions.
While touring agitprop plays for peasants and workers, Boal devised “forum theatre,” a TO technique in which spectators explore their own solutions to collective problems rather than be told what to do by actors who do not share their circumstances.
From 1976 to 1986 Boal was in exile in Europe where, as a result of the translation of Theatre of the Oppressed into 25 languages, his reputation expanded.

 Fall Arts: Profile: Peter Boal (Seattle Weekly)
Even when a newcomer shares as many values with his predecessors as Boal does, his arrival at PNB means that everything to do with the company—the repertory, the dancers, their training—is inevitably going to be measured against a new standard.
In the eight months before his farewell appearances, Boal found himself the object of more plaudits and appreciative analysis of his dancing than he had in the eight years before.
To judge by those tributes, Boal's dancing is distinguished by its musicality and its purity of line—two of the signal virtues of the style of performance demanded by the NYCB's resident master George Balanchine.

Boal has brought youthful energy to the company, as well as a dance bag full of new-to-PNB works, many chosen from choreographers for whom Boal himself danced.
Boal's selection of many new-to-PNB choreographers brought many new names to the company this season, and the dancers seemed to relish the challenges each presented.
Boal, as a solo artistic director who is not a choreographer, brought that variety; with Stowell/Russell, PNB out of necessity performed a great deal of Stowell's work.
