Creative Family Bonding: Rhythm and Movement Workshop

Family Activities — By MAP on June 24, 2010 7:55 pm

Hats off to The Casa Encendida for always extending their artistic offerings to children! Whether you are a traveling family or settled in Madrid, you and your child will greatly benefit from this feel-good activity.

The workshop offers a time and space for children (and adults!) to be creative and expressive through dance and rhythm. Daily objects (pens, keys and spoons, to name a few) will transform into percussion instruments, so that everything learned in the workshop can be re-created from any house (or hotel room). The objective of the 3 hours is to create an atmosphere that emotionally brings together parents and children, reinforcing and enriching family ties through musical expression and dance. The experience will undoubtedly benefit the creative and corporeal world of children.

Pilar Parea, the workshop leader, stimulates and encourages the active participation in musical and artistic processes through loosely instructed ‘games.’ The workshop approaches different styles of dancing from around the world through movement, physical expression and rhythm games with daily objects. Experimentation and improvisation is subtly but surely encouraged.

Pilar Perea is a piano and art instructor from Madrid whose teachings have strong roots in the Waldrof pedagogy.

To sign up, reserve a space online or over the phone (+34 902 43 03 22). The maximum capacity is fifteen families per class. For each child, one parent must also attend. Families with children 7-11 years old are welcome.
