Welcome to the website of Till Baumann. Here you will find texts and photos on emancipatory theatre practice, information about my projects and interesting links to other projects and theatre practitioners.

Most of my work I am not doing on my own. I am part of TheaterDialog, KURINGA and the Paulo Freire Institute of the Free University of Berlin.

I work with interactive and dialogical theatre approaches, which invite to critical reflection of reality. Theatre can put into question realities. It can support us in our search for alternatives to the status quo and can be a – beautiful – language, in which we can question what seems to be obvious. Theatre gives us the possibility to rehearse the transformation of reality. The Theatre of the Oppressed of the Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal is one of my main influences.

In many workshops and projects and in collaboration with different colleagues we have been developing different practices and approaches such as TheaterDialog, Political Action Theatre and Human Rights Theatre.
