In 1986, Boal returned to Rio de Janeiro where he continues to reside. In August 1997, Boal was awarded the Career Achievement Award by the Association for Theatre in Higher Education. Traveling extensively between Rio, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and now North America, Boal works tirelessly to make his processes available to as many people as he can reach. The objective is always to leave behind at least a core of people who can offer Boal-style workshops and analysis. In addition to receiving an honorary doctorate from WSC, Augusto Boal will be holding a workshop of Theatre of the Oppressed in the Sullivan Auditorium, May 16-19.
