Performing (in) the Neighbourhood

Are you interested in creativity, movement, and exploring your neighbourhood in new ways?

Espoo theatre and the &Neighbourhood project invites Suurpelto residents and families with immigrant and multicultural backgrounds to join a free two-day outdoor performance workshop on April 4th–5th.

Together we will explore the neighbourhood creatively, try simple performance exercises, and experiment with telling stories in unusual and playful ways. The workshop includes both group and individual activities in outdoor spaces.

The workshop is facilitated by performing artists Homa Shokri and Dash Che.

FREE PARTICIPATION
Participation is free and no previous experience in art needed. Registration is required by the 31st of March.

LANGUAGE
English, but Finnish, Farsi, and Russian can also be used depending on the needs of the group.

WHAT TO EXPECT
