Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]I was researching uh the T theat education program minor from minor from Big Brum um and what I uh research in is is how this program relates to the school now from the very beginning when I saw the program or read the text on the performance uh I was surprised by um a um fundamental change happening in the story um what happened there is that thesis was presented as a villain and minor as having human uh qualities a child at some point for example he's playing with a toy playing like a child playing a symbolic play now that's kind of a shock if you think about it especially for people are familiar with this and they expecting the traditional interpretation taking place minor is a monster Klean people Enthusiast is a hero who saves his City from this punishment this is not happening in B brum's uh performance it's quite the and so many people may resist but the important thing here for us is that big Brum is challenging the story opening gaps to the story to reinterpret it to give the opportunity to Children the students to reinterpret the story in a modern way in our world today what does it mean to be a monster what does it mean to be a hero how a monster comes a monster and how a hero becomes a hero and try to interpret it in in in different ways for our world today now this model of challenging the story traditional interpretation of the story might have a parallel with how this story is taught in the traditional way what we see the curriculum these stories if you think about it uh a school curriculum is a sum story be saying to the kids to be learn by them it's it's what Society thinks it's important for them to learn so in a similar way big Brum by challenging the story is challenging curriculum as well the way it's been taught and the way it's been these stories are been interpreted so I've found that uh I think that the the model there big from um relates to uh The crucial paradig Paradigm of to it's it's the Paradigm where children students and the teacher steering things around as stud things around they challenge stories in that sense anything is there to be challenged and sort again reinterpret it again and this cisal Paradigm is of course Rel to Paul's prayer critical pedagogy where children and student and teachers together reinterpret the world they name it by naming it you are able then to see to understand how this could be changed how the stories we say about the world way we understand the world could be changed through this process
