Jeremiah Kyle Drake Theatre of the Oppressed Uptown Theater of the Oppressed is a program at the Riverside Church that uses everyday people as actors in (Excerpted from Wikipedia)

The Theatre of the Oppressed describes a range of theatrical forms that the Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal first elaborated in the 1960s, initially in Brazil and later in Europe. Boal was influenced by the work of the educator and theorist Paulo Freire. Boal's techniques use theatre as means of knowledge and transformation of reality in the social and relational field. In the Theatre

of the Oppressed, the audience becomes active, such that as "spect-actors" they explore, show, analyze and transform the reality in which they are living.

Two young viewers of my piece "Message in a Bottle to a Blue Black Baby in the Garbage 82". This rectified-readymade assemblage piece is a Totem to the time I saw a baby in the garbage of an old house in downtown Los Angeles in 1982.
