The workshop continued with the team getting more acquainted with the system of "rooms" and exploring further the library of material. Communication already started becoming easier during the improvisations.
A couple of weeks before the workshop each member of the team was asked to hand in a series of materials. This content was used as a concrete basis, through which the artists could focus on the challenging process of working together on stage.

I had started to believe and to hope that I will too become a man among the others.
Roelof: Roald Dahl
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
