Context/BackgroundSensory Labyrinth Theater is a unique applied theatre approach used to investigate the interrelation of our senses, our environment, our culture and our inner world; and how this relationship can unfold into a sense of wellbeing. Spirals are one of the oldest symbols. They represent a movement between the inner sensory world and the outer material world who are in constant relation to each other. Spirals also symbolise the slow reveal of things that are hidden. By using this spiral movement - that we can find in nature everywhere - to expand the imaginable the possibility arises to re-imagine our life. With this training we research in a youth work context how creative active citizens can be like this spiral movement. By connecting with our own sense of identity and cultural context we can imagine new social structures, even if our ideas are faced with opposition of old and disappearing structures. Sensory Labyrinth Theatre is used as a tool to give young people new personal insides through sensory perception and to support in a time of insecurity and the feeling of not belonging. Creating a positive climate that has a direct and indirect impact on the mental and physical health of the community. Objectives- to make youth workers familiar with the Sensory Labyrinth Theatre (SLT) method.- to inspire, give knowledge, skills and confidence to the participants so that they can put the method into practice in their own work environment – our at least to enrich their current practice.- to spark a discussion about the possibilities of participatory art methods to innovate youth work. -to emphasise the possibilities of the SLT method in engaging, motivating and building a sense of community for young people with or without lesser opportunities because of handicap, discrimination, emotional neglect and geographic isolation. - to explore how young people in this precarious economic and social climate can empower themselves through SLT to discuss issues that are important to them, even if current social and economic structures disagree. Profile of participantsParticipants have not yet been selected. Each partner will select an equal number of female and male participants from their own network. We’re looking for participants active in the field of youth-, cultural- or social work. The partners with who we collaborate also work in these fields and have ensured us they have interested people in their network full of desire for this training. People who are looking for innovative methods to enrich their practice and curious to learn from how things are done in other countries. ActivitiesIn this project we will organise two activities that are intertwined. One is the training on how to use Sensory Labyrinth Theatre which concludes into a Senory Labyrinth Theatre performance open for people from the (local) community. The training and performance will be facilitated by Iwan Brioc, who is the founder of this participatory theatre method. We feel he is the perfect person to guide us in the possibilities of Sensory Labyrinth Theatre. The training will be concluded in a performance that is open for anybody from the (local) community. We see this performance as an opportunity for participants to put into practice what they have learned, to share experiences with others and to fully experience the potential of Sensory Labyrinth Theatre.MethodologyThe facilitation of the meeting will draw on practices from Sensory Labyrinth Theatre, Image Theatre and other participatory art methods. Specific methods include meditation in movement, contact improvisation, SMART, evaluating goals and resources, group work using reflection and sharing, clustering and then harvesting of ideas based on participatory visioning techniques, opportunities for individually reflective and pair work and much more. ImpactThe training will conclude into a Sensory Labyrinth Theatre piece that is open for people from the local community to experience what the possibilities are of SLT. We will also invite targeted youth workers and youth-organisations: Uit de Marge, Habbekrats, Kras, Jonge Helden and more. Also will each partner organisation write a report of /article about their participation in the mobility project, which they will publish on their website and/or in their newsletter. They will inform other youth organisations in their region of the project, invite them to an information session discussing the outcomes of the project and keep them informed of the possibilities for participating in future collaborations/ trainings / seminars.
