Tabara Teatru si Modelaj – impresii de la coordonatorul workshop-urilor de modelaj in lut

Teatru si Sculptura – 2 arte care se completeza

Workshopul de modelaj in lut, sustinut pentru prima oara in cadrul programului educational organizat de Mara Study Tursim, a venit alaturi de cursurile de actorie ca o completare fericita si ca un mijloc suplimentar de exprimare.

Pentru mine a fost o experienta inedita iar tinerii au avut ocazia de a experimenta lucrul cu lutul, de a se juca cu el in mod creativ, de a invata tehnici de modelaj. La final “joaca “ lor s-a transformat intr-o expozitie impresionanta de sculptura.

Posibilitatile multiple de exprimare

Sursele de inspiratie au fost diverse, copiii si-au ales motive si pretexte plastice din realitate, sau din lumi imaginate.
Prin acest workshop acestia si-au dezvoltat filonul lor creativ, reusind sa-si materializeze gandurile si ideile prin obiecte tridimensionale.

Cu totii au manifestat un interes deosebit pentru acest mod de exprimare si chiar au dat dovada de talent.

Astept cu nerabdare noi ocazii de a lucra cu copii atat de seriosi si muncitori.

Tabara Teatru si Modelaj – impresii de la coordonatorul workshop-urilor de teatru

Dear Camelia, I promised I’d write you with some impressions from my latest visit to Romania; I don’t feel in any position to make judgements about a country as complex as Romania. Romania, whose surface I have barely skimmed in my time there. I’m wary of expressing opinions I’ve formed so far as they will come with all the weight of my own prejudices, preconceptions and cultural programming. I’m conscious that there’s a lot more I need to learn before I can begin forming opinions.
————————————————————————————————————
I was in Romania partly because of my privilege as a theatre practitioner and partly because of my privilege as a native English speaker; given the immense “power” the English language currently holds in the world, I recognise how valuable it is and what a portal it has become for people to achieve great things in the world.

Englih Language – portal to achieve great things in the world

With that privilege I feel an enormous sense of responsibility to bring this power into the hands of all people in order to make the world fairer, more open. However, English has often shown itself to be a poisoned chalice. With it comes a particular culture, a particular point of view, with some good elements and some bad; many societies in the world have become enriched by the influence of English-language cultures and their money. But much culture and history have been erased all over the world. What stood out to me from our camp this year was that the balance of power in the structure of our work was not to bring English language to a group of faraway children.

English as a tool for young people

It was to use English as a tool for our young people to dig deeper into experiences of harm in their own lives. Also it was to learn and enrich themselves by switching language to interrogate Romanian problems from a cultural distance. I’ve never seen language used in this way, as a prism for alternative vision. I’ve never seen a collection of people so activated by questions that are vital to all people – why do we do harm, to others, to ourselves, to our planet?
It was a surprise to see and feel their commitment. It made me excited about the English language again because if it can be used in such a way to make this group question the world around them I have a little more faith in its power to help change the world for the better.

Teatrul Béznă continue to challenge the injustice they find in the world and I hope to always be a part of their struggle, using whatever tools are available to me. On Romania itself, as I said, I won’t express here any opinions or judgements. But only say that I have left my heart in your country, and I can’t wait to be back. Thank you so much for having me, and see you soon. Roland
