The Beginnings of an Idea

Rwanda

Speaking the stories of the genocide and, especially, post-genocide

How old is the generation who experienced the genocide first hand?

How does the genocide affect the first generation of Rwandans who did not experience it first hand?

Story circles

Speak their own stories

Theatre of the Oppressed techniques/workshops

Theatre of the Oppressed conference

Take designers (using scavenged material from the places), dramaturg, actors, playwright

There IS a final project but there are also many other workshops and events surrounding that. It’s not the most important aspect. There are many other ways to be involved in this other than the event itself.

Flexible focus/story – process of discovering what is wanted/needed through the participants

Should it be mobile or based in one place?

Joy, fun, pleasure, and beauty are articulated goals rather than indirect results
