"A Zig Zag", the series of workshops for children combining movement, museum space and theatrical play, is back.
In dialogue with the exhibitions by Thomas Schütte at Punta della Dogana and Tatiana Trouvé at Palazzo Grassi, the workshops offer a sensory and creative experience in which the works become stimuli for the body and the imagination.
The workshops are led by Marina Donatone, dancer and choreographer, and Veronica Canale, musician and music educator.
Saturday 11 October at Punta della Dogana with Marina Donatone
Seeing with Hands
How do we look at a work of art? Only with our eyes, or also with our hands, feet, ears, and breath? In this workshop, children will explore the museum through bodily practices that engage a sensory, immersive, and playful way of listening. It will be an opportunity to question the usual postures of a museum visit and to inhabit the museum space while being guided by one’s own body and creativity.
Saturday 25 October at Punta della Dogana with Marina Donatone
Tilt, twist, turn
Amid monumental, fragile, deformed, gigantic, leaning, and dripping sculptures by Thomas Schütte, children are invited to explore unstable, tilted, twisted, and exposed postures… to discover, perhaps, that instability is not a lack but a possibility!
Saturday 8 November at Punta della Dogana with Veronica Canale
The Sound of Sulpture
A workshop dedicated to the sound interpretation of Thomas Schütte’s artworks. What sound would the sculptures make if they could produce one? How can we interpret their expressive forms and give them a voice? An engaging occasion to capture some of the narrative details of the exhibition.
Saturday 22 November at Palazzo Grassi with Veronica Canale
Sound Maps
What sounds are produced in the spaces we walk through in our daily lives? This meeting will offer the chance to actively explore the current exhibition through sound and movement, searching for the “strange music of things.” An opportunity to immerse oneself and give voice to some of the details of Tatiana Trouvé’s work.
Saturday 6 December at Palazzo Grassi with Veronica Canale
The Music of Dreams
A meeting dedicated to the exploration of the dreamlike world strongly evoked by the exhibition, creating short compositions using everyday objects. Starting from the images of some works by Tatiana Trouvé, we will delve into a fantastic world of dreams, to which we will give voice through sound and music.
