An independently organized event

This event is a playwriting workshop in which participants will learn to develop a text based on personal experiences drawn from their work/work-related issues/dreams for their work. We will explore concepts such as memory, desire, change and propaganda. We will use the tools of documentary theatre: interviews, storytelling, fictionalization and research, in an attempt to democratize art and make artistic practices accessible to all.

This workshop is part of the documentary theatre project „Working Changes”, initiated by Ani Mărincean. This process of playwriting is based on interviews, workshops and gathering collective imaginaries around the subject of work. The final product aims to be a collectively-produced theatre show – participants at this workshop can join the process if they feel like.

THE WORKSHOP WILL TAKE PLACE:

28–29th of September

11:00 – 18:00 both days (food and breaks will be included)

andrymi, Bergþórugata 20, RKV

The workshop will be held in English, but if needed, translation will be managed on the spot.

Theatre that moves me most is one that speaks about our society in courageous ways. I believe that all theatre is political. All art is political. I propose to get to know political theatre, documentary theatre and theatre based on personal his/her/their-stories while writing texts out of our own experiences, and to use the stage as our public square.
