Kreativer Kindertanz (4-6 Jährige)

Kreativer Kindertanz für 4 -6 Jährige natural playing - wonderful dances - surprising encounters We roll on the floor, scuttle like bugs, side by side, and slide through under other kids, slip along other kids‘ bodies like on a slide and land softly on the floor as if it was a pillow. We jump around like rubber balls, catch each other, tumble, roll, fly with the support of others, play like young dogs, are smooth and silent like cats on velvet paws, sometimes scuffle wildly. We crawl close to the floor like lizards, sink onto the floor like a melting icicle. We let our bodies get heavy like sacks of flour, to become light as a feather and twirl through space in the very next moment. Children’s‘ joy in motion, their natural impulse to move forms the core and starting point of this workshop. Kids follow their natural impulse to move, supported by their natural motion. Forms like running, jumping, spinning, sneaking, walking, crawling and rolling will be taken and varied creatively. In our fantasy and imagination we become dancing animals, plants, objects and more. Materials like tissue, paper, ropes and music of different kinds, from Bach to African folk songs inspire us to diverse qualities of movement. New things will be tried in a play like manner. Small Choreographies are based on songs, sayings and rhymes, spontaneously picked up by the children’s‘ impulse to imitate and get memorised through repetition. Thus they develop and experience a feeling for rhythm, body in motion and space. In all those processes we are accompanied by imaginative power, inner images and imagination, Movement-games and dance lead through wild and animated sequences to quiet, focused action and to relaxing moments. Thus the variety of movement is expanded. In this variety the children can express their own personality and individuality by dancing.
