Dance workshop for children aged 4 to 12 years

What came first, music or movement? How can movement turn into sound? Does music dance? How can music motivate individuals?

GNO Learning & Participation invites children aged 4 to 12 years along with their parents to immerse themselves into an entertaining exploration of the qualities, senses and textures of movement triggered by the power of music. With the accompaniment of Kostas Yaxoglou on the piano and Alex Bove on the cello, Vitoria Kotsalou will urge participants to explore the relationship between music and movement and co-create their own choreography inspired by classical music and opera pieces.

Dancing alongside their parents, children will explore the different musical motifs that come together to form a music piece, will listen to each other through their bodies and the rhythm, and will discover the innumerable games than can result from the creative process and cultivate active listening and movement skills.

The workshop will be conducted over five weekly two-hour meetings and will come complete with the presentation of the artistic result in front of a live audience made up of the participants’ guests.
