Age group: Young adults
Background
Rewriting narratives isn’t just about the ease and joy of shifting ideas —it’s sometimes also about rolling up our sleeves and making the world a fairer, kinder place for us all.
Can theatre play a role? Well, it allows us to step into different shoes and see the world from new angles. It allows us to stop and change what’s just been said and see if a new phrase has a different outcome. It’s like a playground for exploring ideas and challenging assumptions – changing the narrative.
In today’s world, many people advocate, support, and fight for a new normal based on the ever-growing societal differences and increased awareness of existing inequalities. This makes it ever more pressing to collectively break free from outdated patterns and narratives.
This workshop is an introduction to this process of narrative exploration, following the principles of human rights education, where we will use theatre as an empowerment tool to see how we can breathe life into new stories, amplifying new voices and experiences that might otherwise go unheard.
Aims
Over time, a greater lightness in life and a more conscious use of our power to change the stories around us.
Notes
This workshop can be held in German or English.
