At RYTC, we’re doing something amazing with our new drama workshop, Tell Your Story! It’s made especially for adults seeking asylum, and it’s all about helping people share their journeys in a fun and creative way. We know that telling your story can be tough, but with drama, it becomes exciting and empowering!
Here’s how this workshop makes a meaningful impact:
A Safe Place to Be Yourself!
Seeking asylum can be really hard—new country, new culture, and a lot of uncertainty. That’s why RYTC has created this workshop, where people can feel safe, supported, and free to express themselves. Drama is a great way to let out feelings, reflect on what’s happened, and share personal experiences. It’s a place where you can be creative and tell your story, your way!
The Magic of Storytelling
Telling stories is such a powerful way to connect with others! In Tell Your Story, participants get to use theatre techniques like role-play, improvisation, and even monologues to bring their experiences to life. It’s not about being a perfect actor—it’s about sharing your emotions, dreams, and challenges in a way that feels right for you. And through storytelling, you can also start to heal and imagine a brighter future!
Building Friendships and Community
One of the best parts of Tell Your Story is the strong sense of community it creates! People who might feel lonely or lost get to meet others who are going through similar experiences. Everyone works together, and soon, they’re making friends, sharing stories, and realising they’re not alone. The workshop becomes more than just drama—it’s a place of belonging.
Giving People a Voice
Not only do participants get to share their stories in the workshop, but these stories sometimes turn into amazing performances for the public! It’s a chance to let the wider community hear the voices of asylum seekers and understand their courage and resilience. These performances help change how people see those seeking asylum, building empathy and understanding.
A Life-Changing Experience
For many, Tell Your Story is truly life-changing! It’s about gaining confidence, feeling proud of your journey, and realising that your story matters. By sharing their experiences, participants find healing and a new sense of purpose. It’s not just drama—it’s about empowerment, hope, and the strength to keep moving forward.
At RYTC, we believe in the power of drama to transform lives, and Tell Your Story is just the beginning. We’re proud to offer this workshop and help create positive change through the magic of theatre!
