In this workshop will be consider how to use a traditional Japanese story to raise questions with children and young people about their role as citizens. We will use elements of devising, script-writing and improvisation to tell a story that raises moral and ethical debates.
The workshop is built on the idea that citizenship finds expression in personal and public narratives, and finds expression in the languages, metaphors, images and symbols that are present in drama and theatre. Part of the process of questioning what citizenship means to young people involves exploring how stories and events are represented and framed. This workshop takes a traditional Japanese tale, and therefore has an inter-cultural dimension. It explores how solidarity can be found through small acts of kindness and empathy, and invites young people to imagine the situations of others.
