Wonderwalkers (school performance)

You know that feeling? That you can’t sit still, that almost every fiber in your body wants to move, to go out, on an adventure? The dancers of Wonderwalkers are that kind of people.  They look for and see starting points for exploration everywhere in the classroom. An adventure, like a walk down a mountain range of tables, like getting lost in a bag, like a run course on one square meter and puzzles you can only solve with your whole body.  Come along and get lost, refind and marvel at the many possibilities of movement in a space where you normally sit at a table, listening, learning and using only your hands. Wonderwalkers is a physically interactive performance made especially for the classroom and fun for child and adult alike. Advice age 6 and up, (a group of) children must be accompanied by an adult. Language no problem. Wonderwalkers is accessible for deaf, hard of hearing and disabled audience members (wheelchair access please notify in advance). This performance is less suitable for people with extensive vision problems.

“I was reminded of the late poet Herman De Coninck’s statement about poetry in education. Poetry is not something to know for the next test, but is meant for your whole life, as art that you enjoy, from which you draw comfort, from which you draw energy to see the world differently. So this dance performance in class is a discovery for all your life.”
