The Spirit of Nature – Interactive Workshop
Description
We begin with a 20-minute puppetry performance. This enchanting introduction reveals the endless creative possibilities of found objects, showing how simple materials from nature can transform into unique characters and inspire imaginative storytelling.
Following the performance, parents and children are invited to explore, play, and create together. Using sticks, tree roots, bones, bark, seaweed, leaves, seashells, feathers, and other natural treasures, participants will:
-
Craft their own character from natural materials
-
Draw a visual design of their creation
-
Bring it to life through movement and storytelling
-
Share their ideas in a playful group performance
-
Collaborate with a live musician, who will accompany the children using an instrument of their choice
Ages 5 +
Maximum 15 children per session
Running time: 90 – 120 minutes.
