Expanding City Borders in Civilization 4

Why

To find a way to phrase artistically another reality and another understanding of borders. Not just conclusions, but also find a way to make this an artistic way to make an audience confront another reality. It woud be within the framework of a school.

The location is extremely important! This area, Eleusina, is for the outcasts in Athens. They live in stalls with sheep. The storytelling is going to be extremely mind-blowing. The social dynamics in this area of migrants, Romas, and underprivileged Greeks.

Also a mythological story tying mystery of the area that is still unknown.. A transition into another world.

Location

Characteristics

How it was done

How

Going to a school for children with special needs. Not heavy cases and they have programmes for music and theatre etc. School is placed in the perifery of Athens, sub proletarian, they play with guns, parents are shepard, and they live with sheep. Its also an exploration of border of the city. Will work with the vice-director of the school and develop the workshop with deeply knowledgeable people. And bring performers to create a very short piece that reflect the whole exchange.
How would you categorize the methods you are using?:

Children would chose their own borders to explore artistically

Music, singing, playing instruments, or gardening workshops, painting – to engage and feel happy when doing it.

Results
