ABSTRACT:

We will combine an idea of Gianni Rodari for creating a fairy tale or a story and the ideas of Moreno’s about sociodrama.
According to Gianny Rodari there are a Hero, a Valiant, a Secret, a Fraud, a Helper, Magic gift, a task, a question in every good story or fairy-tale.
We are considering thinking about these characters as social roles and use them for making a sociodrama together with children – The conductors and children chose a topic, everyone chooses a role among Hero, Valiant…, build a stage, and create a story playing together with children- spontaneously, improvising, experimenting.

The participants in our workshop will have the opportunity to experience this process of sociodrama from the role of the adult or from the role of the children.
We will also share this experience at the end of the workshop.
At the end of the workshop the participants will have a better understanding about this kind of work with children and will be able to apply it in their field of work.
