Performing arts as the third place for the young audience: an EU-funded project. @scenekunstbruket @jesstuttgart @divadlodrak @klodenteater
In our latest 3place podcast episode, Seda Witt and Ingeborg Larsen share their experiences from Into the Performance. How can play and performing arts methodologies transform theatre into a shared third space for children?
Into the Performance! is a workshop and performance designed for children aged 10. Created by Kloden Theatre, Ingeborg Larsen, Seda Witt, and Kjell Moberg, and in collaboration with The Cultural Schoolbag Oslo, this program has been offered to several school classes in Oslo.
Witt and Larsen introduce children to the tools and mechanisms of the theatre, fostering a co-creative audience. Through storytelling within a simple framework, and by using the children’s own dramaturgical abilities, they manage to make the theatre a safe space for creativity.
Into the Performance! is learning by doing, a physical experience about what the performing art experience is, and what a theatre house can be for the young.
