Pedagogical Plan
Intellectual/Cognitive Aspects
Basic knowledge
For the students to experience the performance bodily and to build an understanding of how they can support the children.
Elaboration process

Socio-relational Aspects
Autonomy
The students have written a reflection text individually. Also the artistic experience is an individual one.
Cooperation
The students were in the artistic context as a group exploring the artistic qualities together.
We also arranged a discussion as an extension of the performance.

Aesthetic/emotional/linguistic Aspects
Use of different sensory channels
It is a bodily experience focusing on the senses through music and dance. The materiality, understood as scenography is a very important element.
Use of the body
The dancers use the body in choreographed material and also in improvisation. They invite children and adults to join and express through movement.
Use of the language (oral expression)
The performance is based on a libretto, the libretto is a part of our artistic investigation. This specific libretto is a text with philosophical questions. The questions should open up for a democratic conversation with all involved.
Use of written artistic resources (graphic expression)
Written material has been used to prepare nurseries for the artistic practice.
