Workshops Outlines

The first step is for the child to discover his or her body as a means of expression:
to discover body language and use it to express different fantasies; to discover
rhythm, observation and imagination through specialized games; how to personify
objects, animals, vegetables; how to listen to and express one’s emotions.

Verbal expression will be introduced through the creation of stories made up from
the children’s own imagination and from their daily experiences. They will learn
how to transform these stories into plays through the use of sounds, pictures or
stage.
