This workshop is grounded in the idea that the body is not merely a carrier, but a site of memory that accumulates, stores, and leaks.
Each of us carries an invisible bucket. It fills with what comes from family, culture, profession, silences, and the unsaid. Every word placed inside, every role, every “shame,” every call to “be strong” settles in the body. Over time, it becomes a root. It shapes our movements. It leaves a trace. And that trace affects others.
Designed in line with the congress theme “Root–Movement–Trace–Impact,” this creative drama workshop makes visible, through experience, how cultural transmission is reproduced on a bodily level. By carrying, filling, emptying, and transforming the bucket, participants explore internalized role patterns on stage. Through creative drama techniques, they collectively question how recurring behavioral patterns circulate across generations.
This work aims not only to foster awareness but also to invite the courage to change the way one carries what has been accumulated. Sometimes transformation begins not by leaving the bucket behind, but by recognizing how it is being carried.
The workshop seeks to concretize the potential of creative drama to open a critical, transformative, and sustainable space in adult education and psychosocial work.
