This is your chance to create an audio walk inspired by the Jewish heritage of Ukrainian cities.
The overarching theme of the course is ‘window-portals’ as points of access to the inner world. Over three weeks, we will explore ways to connect with ‘places of memory’ through the windows. They will serve as portals through which we will glimpse everyday life, history, and the former residents of the buildings — and see past and present events through their eyes. To make our story truly engaging, we will come up with participative formats for engaging the audience at the walk’s locations.
You will present the finished audio walk on 12 October in Kyiv. We will cover travel and meal expenses.
Where: three online workshops with one offline pitching in Kyiv.
When: 14 September, 28 September, and 5 October (12.00-15.00), as well as 12 October (12.00-16.00).
- Dmytro Levytskyi, the founder of the City Theatre and the author of audio walks in Ukraine and abroad, including the ‘Case of Mendel Beilis’ audio walk.
