CRITICAL THINKING THROUGH DRAMA

Young Theatre Makers is a bilingual learning scheme that uses play scripts as a framework for discussion and critical thinking. Intended for young people in schools and youth centres, Young Theatre Makers focuses on the process of analysing and understanding a play and work-in-progress staging in the theatre.

• Hyenas by Anders Duus
  This story follows a group of teenagers who are desperate to change their status and find their place in the world. It is about friendship, bullying and the fight for popularity.
• Bye Bye Baby by Åsa Lindholm
  This play is about a group of young people, living in the era of social meida, who in different ways are struggling with life online.
