Abstract

How can integration practices and diversity be represented on the stages of Finnish theatres? How can theatre provide spaces to understand better what peace and co-existence entail? This essay reflects on the experiences from the co-creative workshop titled New Narratives on Finnish Stages. Moreover, we focus on devising theatre and dramaturgy improvisation to explore what integration means and can mean in today’s Finland.
