'The Hero’s journey' - an exploration of the self as material. In a digital world where young people are constructing and reconstructing their own identities and creating their own narratives online, to what extent can this be extended to the physical world through theatre making as a means of exploring one’s own wellbeing?

This interactive lecture demonstration will provide the opportunity for practitioners to experience this work from the inside. Framed as a laboratory of experimentation, participants will develop their knowledge and skills of autobiographical theatre in order to activate young people to explore their own politics. Thus empowering them to develop a feeling of agency to support their own well being.

Pre-Requisite: Participants are required to prepare A4 paper, markers, pens and pencils for this workshop.
