Oorkaan programme 2026/2027

Create your own radio play

Shared responsibility: an intergenerational workshop 

With Oorkaan’s ‘Create Your Own Radio Play’ workshop, participants step into the world of sound and storytelling and become (co-)creators themselves. Participants work together to create a radio play by using music, dialogue and sound effects, shaping their own original story. Guided by Oorkaan’s experienced workshop leaders they explore these three essential elements of a radio play while developing their listening, creativity and collaboration skills. Through playing, singing, listening and improvisation participants shape their own story and bring it to life using a professional mobile recording studio. The finished radio plays will be shared online, allowing participants to revisit their creations and share them with family, friends, and wider audiences. Designed for classrooms, festivals, libraries, community centers and after-school programs, the workshop is both an inspiring artistic experience and a hands-on introduction to the power of sound, imagination and collective creation. Previous staged concerts, such as Kantjil en de Tijger with the Toneelmakerij and Studio Figur, included parent-child workshops, fostering intergenerational collaboration and creativity.
