Performance using oral history

2017 Biennial Conference, Sep 2019

Remembering Palestine, is a verbatim community theatre project which explores the lives, stories and experiences of Palestinian immigrant women who have settled in Brisbane. To develop the theatre performance, four Palestinian women were interviewed, which informed the creation of a verbatim theatre script. The project brings together the stories of these women through performance and aspects of traditional Palestinian cultural practices. This project initially began as an Honours Project at Queensland University of Technology and was further developed with support from Australia Council for the Arts. It was performed at the 2017 OHA Biennial Conference.
