From Story to Creative Dance and Movement

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • March 25, 2023 / 13:30

In this dance and movement therapy-based workshop, children are inspired by Paula Rego's works in which she tells fairy-tale-like stories, including sections from her life. Children, who discover their own unique movements with creative movement techniques and improvised dance instructions, transfer the emerging movements on a large piece of paper and interpret the story they have come up with, consisting of lines, symbols and colors. The workshop invites children to reveal their stories through their unique bodily expressions.
