Youth4Peace

In this workshop we created our own performance artwork on the theme of peace, using materials and accessories like umbrellas. We expressed ourselves through movement, voice, silence – whatever came to our minds. Guided by an experienced artist, we worked on our reflections on peace and step by step found our own ways of expressing peace on stage.

We also learned about the five basic elements of performance art: time, space, body, the presence of the artist, and the relation between the artist and the public. The performance was shown on stage at the festive moment on 8 May – and those of us who chose this workshop embraced being present on stage.
