ARTy pARTy - an art concert for children of all ages
The idea is to NOT make a childish take on jazz and improvised music since we really think that the music don´t have to be "customized" to a younger audience - they are so open minded!
ARTy party is a art concert for children of all ages.
In the beginning of the show, we talk about “making things up”…improvising and that you can do it in music as well as in for example art.
The children are invited to Draw/paint while listening to the music the band is playing on stage. everything is right, nothing is wrong.
in cooperation with the arranger of the event, we have prepared long rolls of paper on the floor and the children have been sitting down on the floor, painting on the same very big sheet (like metres long painting). Colors and brushes haw been provided. In the end of the concert, they are allowed cut out a piece that they wanted to take home.
when we do this project we are in need one additional person who is being in charge of the paint floor and all practical issues during the concert.
this art concert is avaliable in swedish, english, french, german and portuguese
