           Dear PTO Conference Friends, 
            Reminder: PTO Call for Proposals Deadline has been extended 
            until January 25, 2008

            We invite you to submit a proposal. We are seeking proposals for: Papers, Workshops, Dialogues, Debates, Performances, and Demonstrations. We believe the Conference theme questions, "What is Change? What is Substantial Change?" And How?" will stimulate conference sessions about the work of both Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal. Click here to read more about the conference and to access our online submission form. The deadline for submission is January 25, 2008. 

            The 14th Annual International Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed Conference is scheduled for May 22-May 25, 2008, in Omaha, Nebraska--the original site of PTO. Inspired by the critical education work of Paulo Freire and theatre activism of Augusto Boal, PTO brings together those interested and engaged in critical pedagogies, theatre, and arts aimed towards progressive and revolutionary social change. The theme for this year's conference is "What is Change? What is Substantial Change? And How?"

            Augusto Boal, internationally renowned theatre artist and activist, is returning to provide Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) workshops prior to and after our conference. For the first time in many years, Boal will attend the entire PTO Conference.  Workshop and conference registration information will be posted on the PTO website in early March.

            PRE-CONFERENCE BOAL WORKSHOPS:

              a.. Legislative Theatre Workshops with Augusto and Julian Boal: May 19th - 21st, 2008. Public Performance of Legislative Theatre in the Omaha City Council Chambers on the evening of May 22nd, 2008, the opening night of the Conference.   
              b.. Introduction to Theatre of the Oppressed Workshop with Augusto and Julian Boal: May 22nd, 2008 
            POST-CONFERENCE BOAL WORKSHOP:

              a.. Rainbow-into-Forum Workshops with Augusto and Julian Boal: May 25th - 27th, 2008 
            Invited guests at the Conference include Augusto Boal and Julian Boal, Donaldo Macedo and Sonia Nieto. Full conference information and registration will be available at http://www.ptoweb.org.

            Sincerely,
