We are experienced music and arts teacher and offer a range of Workshops for children, families and pedagogues. Usually, we offer these workshops in combination with a performance of our productions, to explore the different themes, such as: sustainability in music and arts – using recycling materials in different contexts wind, water, waves (musical repertoire and corporal expression) African, European and Latin American Folklore creating interdisciplinary performances.

Art Workshops for children

Art Workshops

In her workshop, Elide Gramegna will take up the artistic techniques used in the production and create window pictures and / or mobiles made of recycled materials with the children. If you want, you can also try out what it looks like on screen and how a story comes to life as a shadow and puppet theater. Attention – everything is reverse on the overhead projector! Why is that like that? Through a mirror, the world is suddenly upside down, but that makes our story all the more exciting!

Music workshop for children and families

Baby Concert

Based on the theme of our production, Elena La Conte and Kristina van de Sand are offering a workshop for children and accompanying adults. The aim of this workshop is to pick up on musical material from the production and to convey it in more detail. Through improvisational and compositional games, both children and adults are playfully introduced to the music. We will work out unusual rhythms (10/8, 7/8) through body percussion and the call & response principle and learn texts in different languages. If you want, you can join us in the movement and learn a traditional Brazilian dance – the Côcô.

Depending on the length of the workshop, we can also offer a unit “Recycling Instrument Making”.

Baby Concert

 
This concert format is conceptualised for children from 1 year and accompanying adults. We make ourselves comfortable on the pillows, listen to the wind and the waves and dive together into a wonderful underwater world, full of new sounds. We meet fish, whales and mermaids, who tell us their stories – happy and sad ones, like the one from the sailor, who wanted to emigrate to America … We even get into a storm, before we return safely to the harbour.
With an eclectic repertoire, combining European Folklore, Brazilian Rhythms, Baroque Virtuosity and refined improvisational moments, the two musicians weave a sensual artistic thread through their aquatic adventure. In interactive moments, we provide lyrics and rhythms to the accompanying adults and let the young audience to be part of the concert, exploring sounds and movements.
Let’s dive together!
