🏢 About the local organisation
Grenzenlos is an Austrian NGO based in Vienna. It is independent of religions and political bodies. Grenzenlos is a non-profit association. Its main purpose is to promote world peace and respect between people through intercultural non-formal education programmes abroad which combine cultural integration with engagement at non-profit initiatives worldwide.
💼 What the programme involves
The main focus is to create our own short theatre play and experience how much fun acting, dancing and playing can be in a group of great variety. We will include young (international and national) people with fewer opportunities and have the support of professional theatre pedagogues, who will teach us exercises and give us instructions. The theatre sessions include the recognition and use of natural tools (body, voice, and space) and the development of potential skills (concentration, imagination, memory, expression, and creativity). You will be involved in a dynamic theatrical process and at the end of the camp, we will perform your self-created play.
There is no need for any theatrical knowledge in advance, but your motivation and willingness for acting is important because the theatre sessions are creative and artistic practices and your input is needed.
