Community Environmental Forum Theatre at UTMB-NIEHS Center in Environmental Toxicology uses Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) to promote involvement of citizens, scientists, and health professionals in deconstructing toxic exposures, risk factors, and cumulative stressors that impact the well-being of communities. The TO process encourages collective empowerment of communities by disseminating information and elaborating support networks. TO also elicits transformation and growth on a personal level via a dramaturgical system that restores spontaneity through image-making and improvisation. An NIEHS Environmental Justice Project, Communities Organized against Asthma & Lead, illustrates this interplay of personal and collective change in Houston, Texas.
德克萨斯大学医学分部 - 美国国立环境卫生科学研究所环境毒理学中心的社区环境论坛剧场运用奥古斯托·博阿尔的被压迫者剧场(TO),来促进公民、科学家和健康专业人员参与解构影响社区福祉的有毒暴露、风险因素和累积压力源。被压迫者剧场的过程通过传播信息和精心构建支持网络,鼓励社区实现集体赋权。被压迫者剧场还通过一种戏剧系统在个人层面引发转变和成长,该系统通过图像制作和即兴表演恢复自发性。美国国立环境卫生科学研究所的一个环境正义项目“反对哮喘与铅污染的社区组织”,体现了德克萨斯州休斯顿个人与集体变革的这种相互作用。
