A series of three workshops, the child and parent dyad, will have the opportunity to explore and enhance their collaboration through the use of the arts.
The everyday hustle and bustle often disrupts us from focusing on what is important. Participants will have the opportunity to take an interlude to observe one another, to think and share and to give meaning to their common experiences together. Through the use of Neil Gaiman’s story: “Instructions”, participants will aboard their own journey using play, music and art, to reach to their own conclusions regarding their relationship.
The workshops will be semi-structured and will focus on the emerging needs of the participants and thus create the necessary space for new correlations in-between the dyad and with the wider group.
