Play Together

Every year during August, our activities are dedicated to bringing Chinese youth closer to the Danish way of working with creativity, imagination, and co-creation together with our long-term partner Handan Culture. In 2021, the program was devoted to the physical theatre and explored through workshops and week-long courses with the mantra of playing together. Guided by three actors who have spent considerable time at Nordic Theatre Laboratory – Odin Theatre, the workshops gave children and youth a unique experience which they were able to transform into play by means of small games and exercises based on theatre and pedagogy principles. The workshops did not only take place in Beijing, but also other major cities of China like Hangzhou, Wuhan, and Shanghai.
