A program based on Chinese fairy tales: children will learn about the spirits, fairies, and wizards of the Celestial Empire, and then act out scenes and improvisations. The heroes of Chinese fairy tales are people and animals, good and evil spirits, fairies, and mischievous wizards. In a class for children aged 6-8, these stories will turn into a game where they can ask questions, argue, fantasize, and try themselves in the roles of various characters. Teacher Svetlana Kazakova will introduce the kids to the culture of the Celestial Empire through reading and theatrical improvisation. The focus will be on an instructive tale about a boring monkey and a carefree but brave eagle. The children will figure out who was the first to conquer the Himalayas and conduct a small investigation: in which fairy tales monkeys appear, how they are depicted, and why the image can be so different. Then the participants will act out scenes, come up with improvisations, try to change the course of the story, and observe how several variations arise from one plot. If you want to broaden your horizons, train your imagination, and see how reading turns into action, this class will be an excellent choice.
