Stories (Gaza 2006)

A little surprise!

Over the years TDP has been working with a team of women who lead our video-animation workshops. Several times a year, these women get training to keep up with new techniques and methods for both animation and drama. Last year, the team of 6 asked if they could “make a play.”

As part of their training, and in the framework of an advanced drama workshop, we created a piece called “Stories.” This series of scenes is a first chance for these women to practice theatre… to perform… to act…!

“Stories” reminds us of a young girl’s diary…. the need for attention, the desire to be heard, the precious memories to be remembered…. the visiting, the traveling…. and the pain of young girls in Gaza…!
