Tell Me Your Story

The Tell Me Your Story Performance Pedagogy Framework is the result of a two year long artistic research project carried out by Lehry at the Norwegian Theatre Academy, Fredrikstad.

The core of this research is to try and find a series of exercises, actions and modalities with which performative situations in all its range of occurrences can be created while situating the realm of research within the body of the performer.

This means to tell stories, create narratives, perform performances that all come from within by using what one remembers, observes, thinks and feels.

The decimation of this research takes the form of a workshop or residency in which the framework is offered in the form of activities to participants. They are encouraged to take what is relevant to them and to create their own tools for their specific contexts of performance making.

The workshop has a special focus on sharing this framework with folks that come from marginalised communities. They are encouraged to “come as they are”. Their participation is encouraged by all means that are possible.
