Possible Formats

• The usual format is an opening session (Friday night) that explains what Bibliodrama is and demonstrates it with a chosen text.

• Sessions of varying lengths from one to three hours during the rest of the weekend---Saturday morning, afternoon, evening all are options as well as Sunday morning. Texts are taken mostly from the narrative sections of the Bible.

• The sessions or presentations are all inter-active, but there is always permission for people simply to observe.
   

• Texts are selected and presented in such a way that people without an in-depth knowledge of Bible can immediately take part.

• Traditional midrashim and commentaries are brought in where relevant as a way of illuminating the process of contemporary midrash.

• This work appeals to children and to multi-generational groups.

• Often a workshop will be scheduled for educators (1 to 3 hrs.) so that some of the basic methods of Bibliodrama can be demonstrated and acquired.
