Shared Stories / IHME – Festival
SHARED STORIES: ENCOUNTERS, DREAMS, UTOPIA
IHME-Festival 5.-6.4. Old Student House, Music Hall, Helsinki
Saturday 5.4. at 13.00-18.00 and Sunday 6.4. at 14.00-17.00. Old Student House, Music Hall (2nd floor, there is no elevator in the building). (Include breaks) FIN
We all carry within us our own stories, memories, landscapes. We all have our own impressions and dreams of what a good place to live is like. They may appear quite different, but are they really? When we encounter each other, preconceptions are overthrown and we start to seek a road towards a shared, common landscape of possibilities – towards a utopian society.
The approaches used in the workshop, which is aimed at adults include, for example, storytelling, drama exercises and visualization. The workshop is led by community theatre director Annamari Karjalainen, storyteller Markus Luukkonen and award-winning writer Alexandra Salmela.
