Dear long-standing and not so old friends, colleagues and supporters, Headlines Theatre has finally fully transitioned into its new official name: Theatre for Living. David coined the name about 12 years ago to refer to the approach and techniques used in his theatre practice. After 32 years, the company has now fully embraced Theatre for Living to refer to both the practice and the theatre production work, since at its core, they are one and the same. Our website reflects this change as well as our email addresses. Although www.headlinestheatre.com will always redirect to www.theatreforliving.com and our Headlines' addresses will remain active for a full year, please update your browsers' bookmarks and address books with info@theatreforliving.com |

Announcing our 2013 BC/Alberta-wide Tour: Corporations in our Heads |
|||
|
We're booking the BC/Alberta tour of Corporations in Our Heads for Fall/Winter 2013: 26 events across BC and Alberta and 7 around Vancouver. The project will launch on October 10, investigating how corporate messages have planted themselves in our collective psyche, and how we can use theatre to "evict" these messages. Corporations in our Heads is an adaptation of Augusto Boal's Cops in the Heads. |

We are ecstatic to welcome back our dear colleague Liza Lindgren. After a 14-month leave of absence, Liza is returning to the position of Outreach Coordinator as of June 10, 2013. Liza currently identifies as a queer gender-queer feminist. Their preferred pronouns are 'they, them, theirs'. Liza is a filmmaker using art as a tool for dialogue. Their documentary films have been screened and used as a basis for discussion in several different countries, touching on subjects such as gender, feminism, and squatters' rights, as well as looking at anti-racism, allyship and accessibility work in Do-It-Yourself organizing. With a background in theatre (including Theatre of the Oppressed), film and gender studies, they have organized and facilitated several workshops on "Master Suppression Techniques and its Counter Strategies". These workshops try to open up a discussion about the subtle oppression techniques that are displayed in interactions between people. |

Sharing the work in Afghanistan of our amazing colleague and TFL Alumnus, Hjalmar Jorge Joffre-Eichhorn. The AHRDO Memory Box initiative arose out of the need to provide a space for the victims of Afghanistan to finally tell their stories of loss and resilience in the face of the country's violent history of mass murder, genocide and unrelenting political upheaval. Using Augusto Boal's Aesthetics of the Oppressed it is an attempt to actively propel these victims from their current position on the margins of society into the centre of the ongoing peace and reconciliation process, with the final aim of making important, grassroots contributions to breaking the seemingly endless cycle of violence in the country. |
