本文总结了图像戏剧，最初由奥古斯托Boal开发的实践，继续在世界各地的应用戏剧从业者和批判艺术教育者手中开发的方式，可以用作社区和个人层面的非殖民化的教学和戏剧系统。通过引用我自己作品中的两个例子，我在这篇文章中认为，形象戏剧是一种独特的文化实践，可以用来促进反话语的故事，这些故事是由参与者在审美表征和社会现实之间的空间中玩耍而形成的。通过这种方式，形象戏剧可以唤起一个类似于后殖民混杂概念的中间空间，为教育工作者提供一种改造和重塑意义的方式，并为非殖民化实践创造新的策略。
This article summarises the ways in which Image Theatre, a practice originally developed by Augusto Boal which continues to be developed in the hands of applied theatre practitioners and critical arts educators worldwide, can be used as a pedagogical and dramaturgical system of decolonisation at the level of communities and individuals. Through reference to two examples from my own work, I argue in this article that Image Theatre is a unique cultural practice that can be used to facilitate counter-discursive stories that are shaped by participants' invitation to play in the space between aesthetic representation and social reality. In this way, Image Theatre may invoke an in-between space similar to the post-colonial concept of hybridity which offers educators a way of transforming and reinventing meaning as well as creating new strategies for decolonising practice.
