Big performining on small stories or the other way around…. We’ll experience the art of performing.

How to perform big stories small and small stories bigger…, how to make yourself smaller or a little bigger…. Focus is on ‘the art’ of performing.

We will change roles (conducting, playing, telling, audience) in the homegroup, because I think it’s useful to experience the effect of conducting from more sides.

Goal is to reward the teller, let the actors fly and keep the audience busy……..
