Dana Chmielewska – Workshops for Children and Parents – Oh so boring?
18.08.2018
Stary Browar Park Dąbrowskiego, Poland, Poznań

Grumbling, blabbering, thinking about blue almonds, looking for holes in cheese – these are boredom killers, unproductive activities that, however, very often become the beginning of an amazing adventure.

And where does boredom live? Does it grow like a tree or does it get bigger like a balloon? Does it fall on us or rather we trample into it? Where do you feel bored the most?

The workshop will give you time to get to know boredom, tame it and train it. It will also give space for chaos and mess – which are necessary for something new to emerge. We will wander between these states and observe our impressions. We will travel between the world of imagination and the real world, taking from each what is useful to us and learning that one cannot exist without the other.

Following the natural ability of children to create worlds, meanings, situations in real time, we will take the strategies they use in play and try to transfer them to the dimension of dance and movement. And so, in dance, we will create “something” from “nothing”, “chew” with movement, “bleb” with the whole body, connect the dots and create from them amazing movement shapes and landscapes, which may become, perhaps, the basis for the most wonderful stories. In the simplest terms – we will deal with impressions, feelings and storytelling.
