31.07.25-02.08.25 Workshops and Masterclass with Emile Saba /Vibeke Harper 

In collaboration with the Norwegian Actors' Center.

Workshop for youth ( My Monster) 
This workshop invites young participants into a playful, physical, and imaginative process of character creation. Using Jacques Lecoq's animal work as a foundation, we will explore how movement, instinct, and transformation help us embody different characters and emotions on stage.

Workshop for professionals (The personal is Political). 
The workshop is a collective gathering and a deep dive into political theater as a space of confrontation, vulnerability, and transformation. Together, we will explore the personal and the collective narrative and how it becomes a tool of resistance—how theater can respond to systems of oppression without sacrificing complexity or beauty.

Masterclass in Palestinian Theater - 
This masterclass is an invitation to engage with the aesthetic, political, and emotional textures of Palestinian theatre. Through readings, movement-based exploration, and scene work, we will consider how resistance, tenderness, and fragmentation manifest in Palestinian storytelling.
