Outreach Activity: Audience Participation in Performance

Community: General Audience

Age Groups: 5+ years

As an integral component of the performance, we invite members of the audience to actively participate in conveying their thoughts and emotions about the "Refugee Crisis." This engagement seeks to create a collective sense of empathy and awareness among diverse individuals.

Concept:

During the performance, an opportunity will be extended to willing members of the audience to contribute their thoughts through a symbolic gesture. These participants will be requested to write a single word on a postcard that encapsulates their feelings, concerns, or hopes related to the current refugee crisis. A gentle reminder will emphasize the importance of selecting words that are appropriate, respectful, and aligned with the purpose and sensitivity of the production.

On-Stage Placement: The string of postcards will be thoughtfully placed on a dedicated wall prop on the stage, within view of the audience. This arrangement will symbolize the interconnectedness of individuals' perspectives on the refugee crisis.

By involving the audience in this manner, the performance will foster a sense of shared responsibility and connection.
