Intention: connection, emotional memory calling
Incorporating elements and characters from folk tales into our collective play provides a wonderful opportunity to awaken childhood memories.
These tales also possess deeper significance, as they often contain archaic symbols and universal motifs that resonate on a profound level.
Our approach starts by introducing a specific folk tale element, often initiated with the use of a relevant object, such as a storytelling prop.
We initially establish a connection with the audience through clowning, creating a playful and engaging atmosphere.
As the play evolves and the concept becomes clear, we transition with clown play to the roles of the folktale characters.
Audiences have the option to actively participate in the play or enjoy it as part of the audience, so they can engage in a way that suits their preferences and comfort.
A simple storyline is key, with the folk tale element serving as the impulse for our play.
Props are used to represent different roles, and objects are employed to support the narrative consistently. This approach keeps the play enjoyable and coherent, emphasising the joy of playing together.
