CHILDREN FROM THE DAY CENTER FOR THE FIRST TIME PART OF THE PERFORMANCE/PLAY

The Center for Girls had the opportunity to collaborate with an expert in the field of acting and drama pedagogy, Olivera Viktorović Đurašković, on the creation of a performance/play about the life of children who beg/work on the street.

Activists of the Center for Girls first received training on dramaturgical work with children, various games, techniques and methods of creating a play. Then they had the opportunity to work directly with the users of the Children’s Daycare Center, both independently and together with an expert, to design and rehearse the performance/show.

This was the first time children who come to the Center met with theater, and it was especially interesting for them that in the performance/play they have the opportunity to act and thus tell their own life stories. The children were overjoyed to have the opportunity to see the theater and learn some basic things about it, as well as to feel what it’s like to be on stage and act.

This project was supported by the Hartefakt fund, through the Job Shadowing program. The opinions and views expressed in the performance/show are the opinion of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Hartefakt Fund.
