Telling and sharing stories

Telling and sharing stories doesn't necessarily have to be in words or writing. It can be a gesture, a movement, a dance, music, a song or sound, an image, a drawing, a photo, a film (fragment), or an object that expresses something essential about a person's being.

We work with vulnerable people. The content and form of the workshops are adapted to their world of experience. But the core remains the personal approach, inviting and encouraging participants to reveal something essential about themselves, to which we then give a theatrical, artistic form. We aims to get people who have lost control over their lives moving through and with art and culture.
