This article offers a reflection on a series of three drama-based workshops that I developed and facilitated, which formed part of a larger programme called Youth Stories. Youth Stories is a collaborative endeavour between a non-governmental organization (NGO) and a social service organization (SSO), which aims to provide a space for young people living in a low-income neighbourhood in Singapore to reflect on the issues affecting their communities, and to build the young people’s agentic capacities to create change. In this particular drama-based series of the project, the key aim was to explore common narratives associated with the young people’s neighbourhoods and the possibilities of disrupting these narratives through drama work.
