STORY GARDEN

Story Garden is a community-engaged theatre project that focuses on the power of shared storytelling while considering:

• What are the stories we want to preserve and pass on?

• How can we re-imagine old tales?

• What new legends do we want to create?

• What stories do we need to hear right now?

This project explores stories both as theme and form, focusing on narrative and text-based community-engaged theatre. Through workshops, storytelling events, and performances, we bring together professional storytellers, playwrights, and community members to build storytelling skills, explore folktales and legends, and share personal experiences.

Approaches include:

• Workshops with professional artists and community members

• Storytelling events and performances in different neighbourhood spaces

• Playwriting initiatives featuring community performers alongside professional actors

• Playreading and storytelling gatherings
