Creative movement with 5 to 8 year olds

Event date: Sat Feb 6 2021


Online event
10.00am - 12.30pm GMT

A workshop run by Nadja Kraft and Natasha Wolffe, exploring ideas for creative movement with children aged 5 to 8 years, suitable for a range of settings.

In this workshop we will be exploring movement dynamics using folk dance, movement games, poetry and song as inspiration. We will work on technique and repertoire and develop our creative ideas. Ideas can be taken into the music room and also be used to support the broader curriculum, while activities will be adaptable for those working under distancing restrictions and the need to work online.

The workshop is suitable for those working with children aged 5 to 8 years old as students, teachers and community practitioners. No previous experience needed, come and have fun!

Nadja Kraft studied music and dance education at the Orff Institute in Salzburg.  She also studied in Finland at the Department for Music Education at the Sibelius Academy with Soili Perkiö from the Orff Society Finland. Nadja currently teaches music and movement for early years in London and is a member of the committee of Orff UK.

Natasha Wolffe is a musician playing for dance and folk theatre, and a music and movement teacher working with children, families, students and adults. She specialises in movement, play, and cross-disciplinary projects. Natasha is a member of the committee of Orff UK and is based in the southeast of England.
