Market and movement workshop "Dance on paper" July 1

1st of July from 10 AM to 4 PM in Kalnciema Quarter there will be a weekly market for farmers and craftsmen. At the same time from 11 AM to 3 PM, children will have the opportunity to participate in the "Dance on paper", which will be led by Madara Garklāva, lecturer of somatology and movement improvisation.

 

The market will please its visitors both with handicrafts and with Latvian delicacies from countryside - freshly baked bread, cakes, meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and home-made syrups. The berry season and new potatoes will determine the latest trends in the market. You can have a breakfast or lunch on the market, relax in the sunny garden, and hide from everyday rush.

 

Parallel to the market, children together with their parents are invited to participate in the movement workshop "Dance on paper" from 11 AM to 3 PM in the Kalnciema Quarter gallery. During the lesson, participants will dance to draw and draw to dance. The workshop will combine music and crayons, rhythm on paper and in body. The lesson will be directed by Madara Garklāva, teacher of somatology and movement improvisation. Madara's understanding of pedagogy has been strengthened in Finland by studying and teaching at East American Sports Institute at the ISLO Dance and Somatics Education Program. About the workshop Madara briefly says: "Let's take the time to non-verbally answer to questions: what can be drawn by dancing and what can be danced by drawing?" Each lesson will start at 11, 12, 1 and 2, after which kids can express themselves freely in lines, squares and movements until the beginning of the next hour. For the workshop, it is best to take comfortable clothes and do not be afraid to get dirty.

 

The event is supported by the Riga City Council, Ltd. Livonia Print and shop "Muki.lv".
