Abstract

Outside. A group of Playful Learning delegates gather. The task is to devise a short piece of movement to the song Les sans papiers from the musical Notre Dame de Paris. Three groups engage with their local environment to influence their storytelling. Their reflections, together with interjections from the session facilitator, offer an insight into their process of using musical theatre to explore the French language.
