The streets carry our history of collective voice—from anti war and trade union organizing to anti-austerity marches and climate protests. This workshop led by international activist Monica Hunken invites you to step into that lineage and explore how public space becomes a stage for resistance, storytelling, and imagination.

 

There is power in disrupting business as usual with acts of public expression. Together, we’ll learn street theatre techniques for drawing focus, moving as an ensemble, creating striking images, and communicating meaningful ideas through bold, simple forms that speak directly to people in shared space. Through devising exercises and conversation, we’ll connect to stories that matter where you are—local struggles, memories, and movements—and use them as fuel for performance. We’ll then take our work outside, engaging directly with the streets, architecture, and everyday rhythms. Expect playful, low-stakes performance walks where we improvise with the environment and discover how place shapes meaning.

 

This 3 hour workshop is open to all levels and can accommodate 8 - 30 people.— whether you’re a performer, activist, or simply curious about using creativity in public space.

 

Monica Hunken has taught street performance and creative activism across the US and internationally, including Mexico, France, Egypt, Austria, Greece, Sri Lanka, and India—always adapting the work to the local context and the stories people carry with them.
