Legendary! The role of women and trans people in fairy tales, legends and sagas
Since time immemorial, people of all cultures have been telling each other stories. Sometimes as an exchange of news, sometimes as a teaching tool, and sometimes as a mere pastime. But these stories are always full of information. Whether consciously or unconsciously, they are used to pass on good or bad behavior, ethical actions or a moral.
Because many of the old stories in the form of fairy tales, legends and sagas still influence us today, we want to take a closer look at them in this seminar. We will focus on the portrayal of women* and the different roles they take on. We will also take a look at the development of characters who cannot be located in the heteronormative gender system.
With participants from all over Europe, we want to approach ancient stories from Greek mythology to the Brothers Grimm to the world of Walter Disney in a variety of ways and even write our very own stories....
Look forward to a varied program with discussions, theater, hikes, creative workshops, campfires, meditation, dance and fire breathing! And which environment should be better for this than the Harz mountains which are steeped in legends and witch stories?
In September there will be a digital information meeting. The date for this will be coordinated with all those who have registered.
