This workshop originates in activities children are drawn into easily and joyfully: to touch, feel, listen, watch and move. Words, materials, colour, sound, even the own breath make the senses dance, connect with each other and deepen the sensation.
In this way we are creating a safe space for our students to dive into music activities coming from this multi-sensual place and to discover, that even their instrument might swing, that words start to jump, that the body will unfold.
Sensory and body based music and dance activities provide in the moment of exertion a base of music and dance understanding and learning, that might be further developed in terms, graphic scores and personal verbal expression.
So we will go in this workshop on a journey, beginning with a multi-sensual interplay eliciting music, speech and dance activities that flow eventually into the understanding of basic musical phenomena.
The introduced activities serve as a model that can be directly transferred into your personal teaching setting.
