Catalina Carrasco, choreographer of the Spanish dance troupe BAAL (Spain), invites children to immerse themselves in a movement adventure and open a portal of fantasy and creativity together.

During the class, we will play with bodies, space, shapes and colors, using materials such as rubber bands, sheets of paper, dry brushes and other elements that enliven the dance. We will learn how all this affects our movement and opens up a world of new possibilities – painting with the body, drawing maps in space, creating bridges and paths.

The dance workshop is intended for children aged 5 and over and their accompanying persons. No previous dance experience is required to participate in the class. During the session, we recommend that participants wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.

The session will be held in English with translation to German.
