theatrical play
Painting, dance, music, the arts come together in our theatrical play as part of the multifaceted world of the theatre in this first acquaintance of preschool children with the dramatic art.
Among other things it helps resolve problems by looking for and coming up with personal "solutions" to various stories…
When we meet as a team we test, in playing terms, coexistence and the emotions it generates, the communication and the acceptance it involves.
We come armed with a host of fairy tales from the CHILDREN’S LIBRARY, with stories wild and tame, games in a circle and games for one or two or more—all sorts of games that involve imagination, humour, hand puppets, stage props, fabrics! We train in love!
