About the workshop

DANGEROUS THEATRE - Not Complicated But Complex

This dynamic workshop dives into the transformative work of Augusto Boal and his revolutionary Theatre of the Oppressed. I first collaborated with Augusto in 1993, and that experience profoundly changed the way I approach theatre—both as a director and performer. His methods challenged me to be bolder, to interrogate the world around me, and to embrace theatre as a tool for social and personal exploration.

While Boal’s techniques are often associated with Forum Theatre, their power extends far beyond. They can be used to devise original work, unlock new dimensions in existing texts, and deepen character development. Over the past 32 years, I’ve built upon his legacy, creating new exercises that invite actors to take risks, push boundaries, and discover unexpected truths. These exercises may appear simple on the surface, but as Augusto wisely said, “It’s not complicated—but it is complex.”

This workshop is an invitation to be brave, to experiment, and above all, to have fun. Because as Scott always says: Fun is a serious business.

Scott Johnston is an internationally experienced theatre director, workshop creator, and facilitator whose work spans Europe, Africa, and the United States. He has developed and led projects in Romania, Hungary, Finland, Ireland, South Africa, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Wales, and the USA, bringing a deeply global perspective to his practice.

As a director, he has created over 150 productions, known for their authenticity, boldness, and ability to challenge both performers and audiences. His work is particularly rooted in the methodologies of Augusto Boal and the Theatre of the Oppressed, and he has played a pioneering role in introducing and developing these practices in Scotland, Romania, and South Africa.

Scott was the founding Artistic Director of West Lothian Youth Theatre, where he built one of Scotland’s largest youth theatre companies. He is also a board member of BabelFast, supporting international artistic collaboration.

He holds a Master’s degree in Stage Directing from the University of the Arts in Târgu Mureș and was the first British student to complete this program. In recognition of his contribution to transnational theatre practice, he was awarded the University Medal by the National University Academy of Theatre in Târgu Mureș.
