Peter and the Wolf

“Peter and the Wolf:” A performance and workshop for the Train Theater Festival, Jerusalem, 2010

“Peter and the Wolf” was the first workshop of mine the Train Theater commissioned, based on my previous work.

Via an overhead video camera and a projector, I told the story of “Peter and the Wolf” accompanied by the Prokofiev’s music, while demonstrating how it is possible to create a story easily by drawing, erasing, cutting paper and creating characters as the audience watches on a large screen. 

Then the audience split up into groups. The participants in each group  brought up ideas and cooperated to select a narrative and images to present it. Then presented the narrative they created to the rest of the groups via the camera and the projector. This was a lively and rewarding workshop from which everyone left with a smile.
