This week, the KMPE team performed and delivered as a trio for the last time. We had the pleasure to collaborate with the Kurdish branch of Save the Children, led by Mr Nabaz and his team. We did our last performance of 'Mother Earth' together, plus we later delivered a workshop for a selected group of children where we all constructed our puppets and then performed with them. The children were great, very focused and enthusiastic, the large group of teachers who were present were helpful and everyone at KSC made us feel welcomed. As artists-facilitators, that is 'all' we ask for from the host organization: commitment and respect. And we had plenty of that at KSC for what we feel grateful. We really hope we can collaborate together again.
Although sad to see SJ go back to Nottingham, the KMPE team will carry on the work we came here to do: promoting, encouraging and supporting individuals and collectives through the Arts.
Tomorrow, we will be appearing live on Geli Kurdistan, a TV station who has been following the project. We will talk in more depth about how the first month in Suleimaniyah has been and we will also share about future plans. For the moment, just to say we have been invited to a youth detention centre and that we hope we will be able to work together.
