Lucky dragon for MISS SAIGON
Cultural education project at MS Gassergasse
For the fourth time, the cultural outreach programme of the musical division VBW JUNGES MUSICAL held a participatory musical workshop at MS Gassergasse. This time, the workshop focused on the current production MISS SAIGON with the school's 4th grade classes. Over four days, the themes of the musical were explored through movement, acting, music, crafts, theatre education and improvisation, with a focus on the plot and characters. The workshop centred on topics that are particularly relevant to young people, such as conflict resolution, communication and changing perspectives. Classic role models were also analysed and questioned, and opportunities for expanding one's own horizons were highlighted.
The workshop also included a visit to the musical MISS SAIGON, which was met with enthusiasm by the students. Afterwards, the experience was discussed and processed together with the cultural mediators. A special highlight was a lucky dragon that the students made together, which flew past the Raimund Theatre on the day of the show, carrying the young people's wishes.
