In all languages

5+ (Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult)

We need your help to give new life to old books. In this workshop you can create book art by making figures from the pages, or compose poetry through rearranging words and phrases. We provide books and suggestions to get you started.

Monsters are hiding behind the curtain and corpses are stored in the freezer! You are not convinced? See for yourself when Frederik Hansen and Andreas Nederland performs “Thank you for the decapitation LIVE”. The show is based on their eponymous children’s book. The performance is enhanced by shaking sheet metal, rubbing balloons and munching onions, making the sound effects just right for Frederik and Andreas’ performance. Children in the audience are part of the sound effects – and they also have a hand in deciding how high on the horrible “Scar-o-meter” the performance goes.

In Danish

“Once upon a time…” thus begins many a story. But what happens next? We make our own stories, recording and assembling them using interactive learning tool Hopspots. What happens if we change the sequence of the story? What kinds of sound effects will enhance the story? We record, play back and jump through the stories, while playing with words in this workshop.
