■Kobe CBK Multicultural Playshop

 At the multicultural playshop, participants had fun with their friends, moving their bodies in various ways and responding to rhythm. As a game involving expressing things with their bodies, we encouraged them to: try to say hello without words, try to move their bodies in response to the instructions of their friends, break through a large sheet of newspaper stretched in front of them, all move together while everyone holds onto a big rubber hoop, and create an imaginary world for fun. Each participant’s understanding was skillfully expressed through the movement of their bodies. Also, “borrowing” the bodies of others helped them “get outside of their usual selves”. The participants formed a circle and improvised in a game that involved generating different kinds of sounds, using their bodies. The ability to communicate one’s own ideas while listening to the sounds of others is required to play this game. The participants were surprised at the richness of each other's ideas.
