Supporting Teachers' Critical Reflection through the Embodied Practice of the Rainbow of Desire
Forgasz, Rachel
Educational Forum, v83 n4 p401-417 2019
I draw on theories of embodied and critical reflection to propose how Boal's The Rainbow of Desire (TRoD) develops teachers' critical consciousness by supporting them to interrogate practice through the lens of power. In particular, the embodied, emotional, problem-posing, and collaborative characteristics of TRoD offer an embodied approach to critical reflection that makes visible the structures and dynamics of power informing teachers' decisions and actions and the possible consequences for their students.
