WHO: Age 15-19 WHEN: 07/16/2012- 08/05/2012 WHO: Students from around the world join a professional staff from around the world and share their collective stories from all walks of life. In doing so, one, solid, unified piece of theatre is born. In order to make this happen, we need creative people of all types. This experience is about the creative process, and while the performance is an enormous part of our workshop, the focus is on the weeks of creation. The production is always multilingual, but the daily workshop is conducted in English. This cultural exchange is like no other! WHAT: Collaborate, conceive, write, compose, coreograph, design and perform an original piece of theatre with music while working with fellow students and professional artists from around the world. Up to 10 American students and 2 American staff members will join students from Sweden, Finland and beyond, along with professional Swedish staff to create an International Theatrical Masterpiece! Also, explore Sweden and its culture while submersed in a welcoming, beautiful, quaint Baltic sea-side community. WHEN: The workshop begins on Monday, July 16th, 2012. The students traveling from the U.S. will be departing on Saturday, July 15th and returning on Tuesday, August 7th, 2012. WHERE: We will live and work on the Oskarshamn Folkhögskola Campus.
