Workshop with Joana OsmanWorkshop with Joana Osman
Content description
The German-Palestinian author Joana Osman (»When We Dream of Flying« and »Peace – a Real Utopia«, believes in the power of storytelling. She is convinced that fairy tales, myths and stories not only shape us, but also connect people across cultures.
She has developed a workshop format that encourages participants to shift their own perspectives: How are stories told in other cultures and why? Through a creative process, the workshop also explores how we perceive, portray, and represent ourselves and those we perceive as »the other«.
Meeting point: Residenztheater, main entrance
