For two weeks, 45\u00a0children from Jenin refugee camp and surrounding areas\u00a0are joining the daily activities at the theatre and occasional trips in the wider Jenin\u00a0area.<br \/>\nThe camp started with a word of welcome by Nabil, our artistic director, who is also overseeing the artistic and educational content of the programme. After kick-off, the children were divided into three groups and headed for their first workshops!<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Expression through drama<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nEvery day starts with workshops in drama, by Raneen Odeh, Amir Abu Al Rob and Saber Shreim, all graduates of The Freedom Theatre school for professional actors. Over the course of the two weeks, they are working with the groups to present a short performance at\u00a0the closing ceremony. The workshops consist of exercises\u00a0focussing on\u00a0speech, singing and body language. By doing so, the children are educated\u00a0to express themselves in creative ways with the use of play.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Traditional and modern dance<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>In the afternoon, the children enjoy several workshops focussing on expression in different art forms. Part of the programme are Hiphop, where a dance with a powerful message is choreographed by Ibrahem Feno together with the children, and teaching of Dabkeh, the traditional Palestinian folk dance, by Sami Sadi.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Something for everyone<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAnother workshop connected to Palestinian cultural heritage, are explorative teachings about the oud, an Arabic instrument with a rich history, by Loai Balawi. Workshops in drawing and painting, led by Mai Hidarya, allow\u00a0the children to a express themselves in a different, more individual way &#8211; whereas the circus workshops are very acrobatic and teach the children basics about\u00a0collaboration and trust in a playful way, under the guidance of Alaa Abo Alrob.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Trips in the area<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>The summer camp traditionally includes various day trips in the local area, for example an afternoon of swimming with the children. The camp ends\u00a0on Saturday 14 July, when a\u00a0closing ceremony will be held for the children\u00a0to show their families and friends what they have learned during the last\u00a0two weeks.<br \/>\n<strong><em>Want to stay up to date with\u00a0The Freedom Theatre activities?
