Workshop Title: Folded Paper, Unfolded Story: Does It Convey the Process or the Product? (Storigami through Play and Drama.)
Description: Sometimes certain lessons hide quietly behind stories… and they only reveal themselves when felt wholeheartedly. Just like in the stories we watch or read — sometimes with ourselves, sometimes with our children, and sometimes with the students whose paths cross with ours. And at times, even a blank sheet of paper whispers its own story to us — if we are ready to hear and to feel it. Storigami is where the art of origami meets storytelling. The folding of a paper into shapes parallels the unfolding of a narrative, with each fold revealing a part of the story. Thus, the act of folding transforms into a medium of narration.
In this workshop, folded paper will become more than just shapes — it will open doors to roles, emotions, and dramatizations. For participants, the folded paper will serve as a “concrete image”, sparking imagination and igniting brand-new stories.
