This workshop was based on physical exercises which promote communication among the participants; it also promotes embodying the roles to a certain degree of exaggeration in order to deliver the correct meaning to the spectator on the street. In addition to the physical exercises, the workshop also covered how to write a comprehensive theatrical script and the stages of writing which included all participants. Every participant suggests a time, place and the main character; all the characters are then merged into one story imagined by the whole group. The time and place of the story are voted upon in order to take everyone’s say in the decision. The play was finally displayed in the area of the camp during the last day in cooperation with the participants of the music composition workshop who accompanied the play with suitable music.
