Anything that can fly flies

Fly

In this imaginative performance workshop, we explore the theme of flying together. A short introductory scene allows the children to dive straight into a world of lightness. Using different materials – such as cotton, paper airplanes, and floating fabrics that come alive through wind, breath, or movement – we discover how things can lift into the air.

With colorful cloths, an image of a lake is created, inviting the children to dream and marvel. Through music and a guided fantasy journey, we eventually let our own bodies “fly” as well – through dance, play, and vivid imagination.

The workshop combines performance, material exploration, and creative body play, inviting children to experience the idea of flying on many different levels.
