Descrizione
The text reports on the workshop conducted by the author within the DEMO:DRAM (Democracy through Drama) project. Starting from the word ‘memory’ in participants’ mother tongue, and from other words connected with ’memory’, the facilitator proposes a ‘mimetic exploration’ aimed to trace a common history of migration. The facilitator builds a shared drama through Mimesis in Education methodology.
The starting point of the workshop is to explore words related to journeys in the participants’ home language. The students then build a story through movement and mime based on the connection of the key words. Students work collaboratively to interpret and understand each other’s story.
