Masterclass: Image Theatre with Nour Hassan

This fascinating masterclass is an invitation for participants to explore their creativity by responding to frames from the chosen film and re-constructing a story that is yet to be told. They will experiment with “image theatre”, a method that allows them to improvise, develop their ability to use their body language and interpret and express what lies beneath an image from a personal and social perspective.
