Interactive dance experience for children 3+

 

Movement work-formance researches the relationship between body and emotions, focusing on social perception of individual as well as collective happiness and how they physically manifest in the body.

 

A white bouncy castle that unfolds in front of us becomes a collective space for joy and happiness.

 

Original format work-formance starts with a movement workshop and continues into a performance whereas youngsters become protagonists of movement action.

 

The performance was included in the selection of recommended, high-quality theatre performances for children and youth Golden stick (Zlata paličica) by Slovenian Theatre Institute. 

 

The performance offers the youngest the first movement challenges and challenges with balance!

Children do not learn to live in an imaginary world by imitation, but by pursuing a common goal.

So how do you communicate with happiness? The performance gives an answer that can only astound us with its simplicity. We come to happiness by inclusion, by sharing.

Such performances are important for all small and large municipalities, because with them children develop another kind of imagination…

The moment that follows is an expression of pure authenticity and perhaps even happiness caught in a complete transparency.
