The unique modality of Forum Theater allows us to present scenarios to participants, who subsequently can act in the play to alter the outcome of the scenario. The participants are called &#8220;Spect-Actors&#8221;. This type of theater was introduced by a Brazilian Drama theorist named Augusto Boal in the early 1970&#8217;s and used to effect social justice change.<\/p>\n<p>We will wor\u200bk with you to create
