About Luc Opdebeeck

My name is Luc Opdebeeck born in Belgium, 1960. Since 1989 my focus has been on Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) and developed expert jokering/directing skills. I was trained by all the major international experts and colleagues on TO, including several trainings by Augusto Boal, founder of TO.As co-founder of Formaat, Workplace for Participatory Drama, I have been working as artistic director since 1999. Under my supervision, dozens of major and minor productions were launched on issues like racism, bullying, emancipation, crime prevention, alcohol and drug abuse, ethical dilemmas, community conflicts and minority rights.I have trained people in TO and other Participatory Drama techniques in the Netherlands since the early 1990s. Internationally I have worked as a trainer and practitioner in South Africa, Spain, Croatia, Serbia, Moldova, Belgium, Laos, India, Mozambique, Suriname, Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey & Iran.

    Founder of Formaat in 1999. The company started as Theatre of the Oppressed group doing Forum Theatre in schools. Soon I extended my work beyond the field of education, and beyond Forum Theatre as the only available technique. In 2004, the extension "Workplace for Participatory Drama" was added. We decided to do that to emphasize two things. First, we want to be a place where working with the oppressed comes first. A place also where new techniques are developed and passed on. Second, we wanted to draw attention to the term “participatory”. Participation involves the voice of the participants. It is not the educational value of the drama techniques that stands out. Education is often coercive and based on monologues. Participatory Drama is democratic and based on dialogue.
