Image Theatre uses the human body as a tool of representing feelings, ideas, and relationships. Through sculpting others or using our own body to demonstrate a body position, participants create anything from one-person to large-group image sculptures that reflect the sculptor's impression of a situation or issue. From simple techniques such as Image of the Word (where participants are asked to sculpt themselves into a statue representing their reaction to a given word) to more complex techniques such as Image of Transition (where the technique studies the possibilities of change), Image Theatre harnesses the simplest form of self-representation to arrive at the deepest form of debate.

Image Theatre exercises and discussion lead to the development of realistic scenes about the specific issues found to be most compelling to the group.
