Nature's Theatre

Jorge Luis Morejón participated in the Nature’s Theatre Workshop with Jeff Falyn and Lyndsay Dawkins, founders of Nature’s Theater in 2004, on March 6th and 13th. The initiative grew out of their desire to offer kids a fulfilling and fun experience in the outdoors. Currently, there are over thirty stories with diverse themes and adventures in the Nature’s Theater repertoire. “Our mission is to connect kids, our next generation of sustainable caretakers for the earth, to the joys of being outside…” One Sunday afternoon per month, children of all ages with an accompanying adult, enjoy storytelling performances with an international content at a theatre venue, a park or a school.


Each storytelling event is open to the public. The methodology offered by Falyn and Dawkins is flexible and adaptable to any children population. It was a great gift that Jorge Luis Morejón will take with him back home to use as a resource for children to learn about nature while involved in a performance driven process.
