Belgrade, Serbia

Description:

In June 2011, Daniel Banks, assisted by HHTI core member Christopher Rivas, led an HHTI workshop at Dah Teatar’s “Passing the Flame” 20th anniversary conference. The workshop was attended by professional actors from all over Europe, as well as New Zealand, the UK, and the US. A group of five Roma youth from a nearby homeless shelter arrived on the first day and were welcomed to participate, weaving in local beatboxing and B-girling/B-boying flavor. The participants of the workshop returned to their countries with fresh ideas about how to engage youth, using Hip Hop Theatre as a jumping off point. They also learned how to include elements of Hip Hop in a devised theatre process.
