Workshop on Contemporary Theater Practices for Teenagers

Hosted by Unga Klara, a renowned theater company specializing in productions for childrenand youth in Stockholm, this two-week workshop brought together nearly 20 participants.My goal was to explore the tastes and artistic expressions of teenagers, testing howengaging experimental and contemporary approaches in performing arts—like installation,performance art, and creative writing—can be for them. We aimed to find out what kind ofmodern productions companies like Unga Klara could offer to their young audiences.
In each session, participants explored stories, movements, and materials through playfuland experimental exercises. At the end of every workshop set, the teenagerscollaboratively created a piece that combined movement, score, sound, and text,reflecting their own unique styles and preferences. It was all about celebrating the wild,strange, and unique aspects of being a teenager through a co-creative process.
