“Locality-responsibility”

A new and interesting project is being run in Toruń with young people in mind.

“Locality-responsibility. Theatre activities in the city space” will last for six months and will take place from September 1st till the end of February 2011. The group of 4 young people from association “Sawmill” will organize and lead theatre workshops for two groups of youngsters. The first group are children from an orphanage, the second group are children from city district Osiedle Bydgoskie.

As the “Sawmill” team says:

“We are going to use the body theatre method, along with group activities and happenings. Some of the workshops will let participants connect to their bodies, some will build leadership as a feature of young European citizen. We will start with individual work to gradually open up for the public space with our shows. Project includes elements of reflection on our relation to the space we function in every day”.

“All the skills gained during the workshops, will be used in LARP city evaluating games, that will be created by the participants themselves in terms of plot and activities and where they will play the role of leaders. The project will show apparently obvious elements of our local reality as a tool for creative change of life in order to avoid social exclusion and to introduce European values to our every-day life”.
