Helping Refugees Turn Their Tales Of Flight Into Theatre

In a workshop this week near Glasgow, Dutch theatre artist Annet Henneman and a group of refugees from Africa, Sri Lanka and Kurdistan acted out a “Refugee School, in which pupils learn such skills as how to barter for a passport, how to hide money inside their own body and how to sleep upright in an enclosed space crammed with other asylum seekers. All of these, it transpires, come from real-life experiences.”
