The Giant’s Embrace, directed by Ceri Townsend, was invited to Bethlehem International Performing Arts Festival. InSite and Round Table TIE Company members spent five days in Palestine between the 7th and the 11th of October and performed the theatre in education programme in three schools as well, beside the official Festival performance.

It was fantastic to meet artists from around the world and children and young people from Palestine at the five performances. A big thanks to the BIPAF team of volunteers and organisers!

We also thank NKA and Roberta Cimmetta Fund for making our participation at the Festival possible with their support.

Time: 2018. April 26. 16:00 – 19:00; Venue: Örkény Színház, Rehearsal space (1075 Budapest, Madách Imre tér 6.)

How can drama help engaging in democracy and creating a democratic classroom? What sort of dramatic tools can teachers of humanities use with 11 to 15 years old’s in the classroom? What opportunities do teachers have in the Hungarian school system to engage in social issues? How can democracy be perceived in relation to the teacher – pupil relationship? 

The workshop presents the Democracy through Drama international project and a needs analysis conduced with teachers, and possible classroom lessons that will open responses to the questions above.

The event is in HUNGARIAN, it is free, but registration is required. Please register here.

A course on doing Process Drama with Early Years

While the games of children in early years are filled with stories, role play and being in fiction, we do not rely enough on these capacities of children to create community, fun and learning.

Kostas Amoiropoulos works with this age-group on a daily level and is an internationally acclaimed expert on Process Drama. InSite has invited him from Greece to share his knowledge with all those interested.

The course will be in English with Hungarian translation.

Dates: 6th April, 5:30 PM to 8th April 3:00 PM

Venue:  Jurányi Inkubátorház, Budapest 1027, Jurányi utca 1.

A joint program of InSite Drama and Örkény IRAM in Hungarian

Date: March 14th 2018 16:30 – 18:00

Venue: Örkény Stúdió (Budapest 1075, Asbóth utca 22.)

A central question for drama in education has been the role of theatre in classroom drama. Adam Bethlenfalvy completed his PhD research as the student of Birmingham City University studying the possibilities of connecting ‘living through drama’ with Edward Bond’s theatre theory and practice.
