The American Dream
With
T. C. Boyle’s novel The Tortilla Curtain
as a stimulus, we will explore such issues as migration, identity, dreams, hopes
and nightmares. The workshop will provide stimuli to help learners verbalize
opinions and lead discussions while being in role or while reflecting on
observed scenes.
The
drama activities will range from simple ways in which drama techniques can be
introduced to more demanding tasks analysing some of the themes in Boyle’s
novel.
Participants of this workshop should be ready for a lot of practical work – including physical activity. Knowledge of the novel is not necessary. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes!
