STORYsilience Performance

A group of young students from Windermere’s Queen Katherine’s School came together in 2022 as a drama class to undergo a new drama project called STORYsilience. After hours of hard work, and a trip to Turkey,
they created a final performance piece entitled A Dream of 20.
Partner organisations such as Global Learning London, Cumbria Development Education Centre (CDEC) and Lakeland Arts (UK), Povod, Institute for Culture and Development of International Relations in Culture (Slovenia), DEM Experimental Training Centre (Turkey) came together to help promote and fund this project in the UK and overseas.
The main objective was for young people to confront and overcome strains and difficulties during COVID-19 and express they’re individual experiences through dance and theatre. I had the pleasure of interviewing each of the students and partners, filming their performance and Q&A in early 2023.
