Father's Love, Past and Present

Drama Skit cum Theatre workshop

“F ather’s Love, Past and Present” is a familiar story that many fathers would have experienced. Since time began, fathers learnt from their fathers. Values and traditions are passed down from generation to generation. As times change, can fathers still rely on these parenting tools? In “Father’s Love, Past and Present”, we tell a story of real life issues in light hearted way.
“ Father’s Love, Past and Present” is a 4-hour workshop (inclusive of a 30-minute drama skit) that creates a safe platform for father and child to communicate issues that would otherwise remain unspoken, as well as the opportunity for fathers to dialogue with each other their fathering triumphs and obstacles.
Facilitators will be using techniques from psychodrama, playback theatre and drama to surface deeper issues and topics that are difficult to vocalize. The process allows participants will review and reflect their thoughts and feelings, hence nurturing deeper understanding and empathy between father and child.

The event was well attended and we had fathers coming in enthusiastically to spend time with their children. They had such a wonderful time together and all wished to come again should such event be organised again. All we can say is that we are going the right direction getting the fathers more involved in their children's lives. We certainly have a bunch of dedicated and supportive parents. The pictures itself speaks a thousand words. Well done!
