COOL-TUR

In collaboration with the Verein Kulturvermittlung Zürich, we are organising an exciting multi-day course for children during the autumn holidays.

What does a forest actually sound like at night? This question will be the focus of this workshop entitled "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the second week of the autumn holidays. Together you will discover how music and dance create moods, how beats are created and how they can be realised with the body, voice and various sounds. You experiment with rhythms, sounds and movements. Quiet, loud, wild or very calm - you build your own soundtracks and find your own sound.

Inspired by the music of Gabriel Prokofiev

Leaders: Bettina Holzhausen (Dance Education Zurich Opera House) and Simon Wunderlin (for the Tonhalle Society Zurich)
