Get ready. Gather all your courage scattered around the room, fish out the curiosity stashed in your pocket, and dust off your imagination, our best friend. Today we embark on a journey into the land of dreams, dreams and intuition. Like mythical heroines, we’ll encounter terrifying monsters, unimaginable challenges, delicious temptations and magical lands enchanted in our bodies. We’ll find hidden powers and meet loyal allies. There will be temporary adversaries, but through imagination and knowledgeable dreams, we will understand how to turn their power to our advantage. And all this to discover the treasure hidden at the end of the road.
Week-long workshop for girls aged 9-12 invites to the world of dance and imagination. Through movement games, dance improvisations and working with intuition, the event aims to broaden skills in creativity, concentration, expression as well as the ability to calm down. The leader, drawing on her many years of experience as a dancer and choreographer, offers the participants exercises to deepen their body awareness and develop trust in their own imagination.
The workshop is a response to the challenges posed to children by modernity, which is increasingly distanced from bodily attentiveness. Taking up the topic of sleep and combining it with the practice of following the spontaneous joy of movement has the potential to strengthen the participants’ self-esteem and may in the future prove to be a support in the courageous pursuit of their needs and chosen goals.
The “Dream Explorers” workshop is designed in the spirit of respecting children’s subjectivity. The proposed activities therefore assume openness to a variety of responses and types of involvement of participants.
