Hi Everyone –

Here is an article about an Israeli/Palestinian group using Theater of the Oppressed for community building and cooperation.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/aug/01/israel-palestinians-combatants-for-peace

What I like about the group is that the artists are embodying the change they are inspiring others to make.  They are former combatants who have put down their weapons and picked up theater!  When theater comes out of the artists real lives, it is the most powerful method of engagement.  They are not preaching unity and dialogue, they are living it.
