Within the framework of Draseis 2019-2020 Young on a Desert Island and in collaboration with Apothikes THOC a theatre workshop for teenagers and young people up to 18 years old will take place. The workshop is taking place in connection to the performance Das liegt im Blut (German, 'It’s in the Blood').

In this workshop a mixture of afrodance (mainly based on afropop and afrobeat) and acting will be taught. The focus, while developing little scenes, will be on the theme of Partnership. Partnership is important for lovers, families, citizens, countries and continents; partnership is the only solution to many problems that the world faces today.

Please bring training clothes and some ideas on the theme. Registration is required.

Gifty Wiafe and Barbara Kemmler have been working together for more than a decade. At the beginning, Gifty was a teenager who had just arrived in Germany from Ghana; Barbara was a theatre director who worked with young actors. They now work together as partners. Both are interested in the cultural exchange between Europe and Africa, Ghana and Germany.
