Talk about dance/musical/opera – talk about life
This course is aimed at educators. Seeing a stage performance is a good basis for talking about life in general. Based on our three genres – opera, dance and musical – you, together with other educators, get to see a performance and then talk about life based on a special conversation method. We meet on three occasions, one of which is when we see the show, and you must be able to attent all three sessions to participate.
Talk about opera – talk about life is a conversation method developed within the Sensus study association, and which was originally called Talk about film – talk about life. The participants watch a film or a performance and talk based on their own experiences, thoughts and feelings, partly in a group, partly individually without being interrupted. The first opportunity focuses on getting an entry into the conversation based on three keys: a feeling, a person and a scene.

Encountering performing arts – a course for teachers
With this course, teachers receive tools to improve their students’ encounters with performing arts, both during the performance and in conversation afterwards. Experiencing the arts is a democratic right and part of schools’ mandated syllabus.
"Lärare ser på scenkonst" in autumn 2025 is arranged by Backa Teater in collaboration with the Göteborg Opera. Register via Backa Teater, Stadsteatern.
