Third-Way Theatre, is based in Melbourne, Australia. It grew out of the work of the Takin' up Space project (1999) which uses Theatre of the Oppressed Techniques to address community concerns arising out of colonising assumptions. Third-Way Theatre has roots in Paulo Friere’s work on critical pedagogy, Pasmi's on Confrontational Pedagogy. It uses techniques such as Theatre of the Oppressed, to push beyond binaries - free up possibilities to move beyond the status quo".
OUR CURRENT FOCUS.
