The Angle Project

Mysteries of storytelling!

It is wonderful to see our Story Catchers program students experiment with a variety of storytelling techniques and expand their visions of narrative possibilities. Shadow theatre is so atmospheric and really fun to create!

We had a blast with this middle school group! The students explored the stories of refugees as part of their social studies curriculum.

Together we learned some theatre skills and enacted what displacement looks like. We discussed such terms as democracy and authoritarianism and their role in the displacement process.

In the end, we all shared the feelings that came up during our time together and how we can channel them to make the world a better place for those in need.
