Job Offer: Social Drama Facilitator:Job description:Job detailsOrganisation Voice Arts Closes 31 Dec 2021 Posted on 3 Dec 2021 Region Wellington Work type Contract Work classification Community & Access Arts ShareWe are seeking for a theatre practitioner to join our team of community facilitators to work in the community of Wainuiomata. The function is one day per week, and involves the delivery of a 90 min drama located class for seniors along with community outreach to build engagement with the programme, particularly amongst Maori and Pasifika.About our programme: Loneliness is twice as unhealthy as obesity for older people and while there are many services tending to the physical health needs of our grandparents there are few that specifically support their social and emotional wellbeing. Voice Arts is one of them. Delivering a programme of free social drama classes in neighbourhoods all over Wellington, Voice Arts is a creative space committed to bringing laughter, play and performance (back) into the lives of older people. 65 or 95, introvert or extrovert these classes help keep the mind active and creative, while building a social network of people that all live nearby. There are no lines because there are no scripts. Voice Arts' facilitators use Applied Improvisation, drama-located games and exercises where dialogue is made up and no matter what you say it's right. ?The ?Yes And' principle of improvisation supportscreative freedom.Participants confidently engage knowing there is no wrong way to do Information technology and no wrong answer. These social drama classes also draw heavily on oral storytelling traditions that span all cultures. After a burst of improvised play and a break for a cuppa and cake the class becomes a space for storytelling and reminiscing. Our social drama classes are gently active, enhance cognitive function, provide significant activity, create deep social connections, honour stories of place and identity and are dripping in joy and laughter. They are free to attend thanks to funding support from The Ministry of Culture and Heritage.
