Jennifer--Theatre of the Oppressed is an offshoot of the Pedagogy of the
Oppressed theories of Paulo Freire, the Brazilian educator.  There is a
conference every year where the Freire groups meet among them the
Theatre of the Oppressed. I did my graduate work in Freire and use it to
teach all the time.  I'll look in my stuff and see if I can find the
contact information for the director of the Theatre of the Oppressed if
no one else on the list can come up with it for you.
