The spoken and the heard word

Inhalt

For teaching children of Classes 1 to 4

Practising storytelling, speaking verses and rhymes with gesture, singing a circle game or finding the rhythm of a tongue-twister with your fingertips – this workshop is an invitation to explore the living world of the sounds of speech, with exercises to nurture the voice, develop expressive skills and enrich repertoire.  Clothes and shoes good for moving in are needed.  Weather permitting we will go outside for some activites and draw inspiration from the beautiful surroundings in Maytime.
