The Nightingale
Teaching Plan, Installations
In everyone's heart, the nightingale carries different symbolic meanings; it can symbolize freedom, but also music, loneliness, healing, or inner desire. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Nightingale", this project uses process drama as an interdisciplinary method. Through role-playing, students explore the story, using their bodies and materials to create personal interpretations. This educational process encourages reflection on emotions, universal themes, and relationships with others and nature through artistic expression.
Installation Introduction
The teaching plan is presented in a booklet that forms a birdcage shape, which breaks apart when unfolded, symbolizing the nightingale's pursuit of freedom and limitless possibilities in education. Serving as a reference, it invites teachers to build upon it, drawing inspiration and fostering creativity through interactions with learners. Each lesson can be detached as a standalone session, highlighting its flexibility and adaptability.

Educational Theatre
Textbook Theatre
I specialize in transforming static curriculum into dynamic, embodied learning experiences. By bringing textbook narratives onto the stage, I help students explore complex academic themes and interpersonal dynamics through active role-play. This approach turns traditional lessons into a living dialogue, allowing learners to find personal meaning and deep emotional resonance within their studies.
Educational Theatre
Psychodrama
My work in psychodrama focuses on translating the lived experiences of students and young adults, such as academic pressure, interpersonal conflicts, and future anxieties, into expressive theatrical scripts. By utilizing role-playing and emotional immersion, I facilitate a process where participants gain new perspectives and social insights.
My practice is grounded in the belief that through the safe 'stage' of psychodrama, we can achieve emotional resonance and collective empathy, turning personal confusion into shared clarity.
