The project took place from June 26 to July 13, encompassing engaging sessions from Monday to Friday, each spanning 4 hours.
Led by Alexander Chernousov, the Adapt-o-Rama Documentary Theater Lab provided an immersive platform for teenagers to delve into the intricacies of documentary theater. Guided by Alexander’s expertise, participants delved into the art of conducting interviews, crafting compelling characters, and unraveling thought-provoking narratives. Through the lens of documentary theater, participants embarked on a voyage of self-discovery and gained profound insights into the world around them.
The Adapt-o-Rama Lab was extended to teenagers aged 14 to 17 from immigrant and refugee families. It served as a melting pot of experiences, fostering connections and personal growth within a diverse community.
As we reflect upon this transformative journey, we are immensely proud of the accomplishments, growth, and connections that the Adapt-o-Rama Lab facilitated. We thank all the participants, expert contributors, and supporters who made this venture a resounding success.
Together, we’ve unraveled stories, discovered voices, and celebrated the magic of theater!
