Brent is a teacher, activist, certified therapist and liberation artist, and currently a senior lecturer at the University of Southern California, where he founded the Applied Theatre Arts Program. Brent also founded the Center for Theatre of the Oppressed in the USA, having worked extensively with Augusto Boal. Brent is a certified Linklater voice teacher and a faculty member of Shakespeare & Company. As a Fulbright scholar he traveled to Nigeria and has been involved in applied theatre in that country as well as in both Los Angeles and Boston. He is the innovator of several programs among youth at risk and in detention in the USA.
This workshop is part of the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble's Arts in Community Enhancement (ACE) project, which will be trialed in Queensland prisons in 2006. The ACE project is supported by the Queensland Law Society, the Supreme Court Library, and the University of Queensland.

 
The ACE methodology seeks to provide members of marginalised communities with the means to address issues of rupture in their lives, through the powerful works of William Shakespeare. While initially being trialed with young prison inmates, the methodology will hopefully be extended in coming years to juvenile detainees, residents of retirement villages, and at-risk youth in the community.

QSE's Theatre of the Oppressed workshop provides artists and community workers in Australia with a unique opportunity to train under one of the world's leading TO practitioners. The skills gained will greatly enhance your practice as an actor, director, activist, drama therapist, or community worker.
