Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
This service learning course is based on applied theatre and improvisational theater, of which storytelling theatre is the most important. In the theatre, the interviewer will interview the audience about their recent life stories or some unforgettable memories, and the performers will, after listening to the interviewees' stories, perform them in an improvised way to empathize with the interviewees' stories and emotions, and feed them back to each other.
Applied theater is not limited to the field, it can be at the community college with new immigrants, it can be in the classroom to lead children to learn, or to learn the history of the community and present it in the same space and at different times.
Results/Contributions （500 words）
During the course, we learn how to express our own stories and other people's stories using our physical bodies. We learn to use our five senses, simple body movements, musical instruments, and props to "tell" a story by listening, watching, and touching, and we also learn how to act out other people's stories and states of mind in a flowing and jigsaw style. Through these three workshops, we learn to empathize and re-interpret from the standpoint of others. Often, when we see others perform their own stories, we will be deeply moved by them.
We hope that theater is not just a distance from the stage, but can truly interact with people.
