With Sissel Romme, Steen Haugesen, Pernille Nedergaard and me.
The 2 performance artists (Steen and Pernille) start out talking with the kids about their homes, families and friendships. Each child creates their very own treasure box and sensory box. With the supervision of Sissel and me the kids collaborates two and two together on building their house using huge cardboard boxes. After drawing windows and doors and cutting them out, they add on spires, balconies, gardens and finally paint their house. When the paint is dry, we form a small village of houses, and Steen and Pernille creates a performance with the kids. On ‘Opening night’ we invite all the guests inside the houses, to play with the treasure boxes and feel the sensory boxes, and have a good time, making new friends.
