In February and March 2001 a total of 70 children from three school classes from the schools Vahl skole and Gamlebyen skole in a text development workshop in The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater). The trial project was ended with a festival called Snakk med framtida* (Talk to the Future) in The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater).
School pupils wrote texts actors and instructors read. Next they met in the theatre where the actors, guided by the instructor and the writers (in other words, the school pupils), have performed the texts onstage, with all the school children as an audience. The idea was using the stage with the professional knowledge of the actors and instructors in enforcing the children’s experience of their own expression of language.
Snakk med framtida started as a project financed by money from the action plan for the eastern part of Oslo’s inner city (called Handlingsplan Oslo Indre Øst) in 2000.
