WONDERWALKERS
A physical, interactive performance made especially for the classroom
You know that feeling? That you can't sit still, that almost every fiber in your body wants to move, to go out, on an adventure? The dancers of Wonderwalkers are that kind of people. They look for and see starting points for exploration everywhere in the classroom. An adventure, like a walk down a mountain range of tables, like getting lost in a bag, like a run course on one square meter and puzzles you can only solve with your whole body. Come along and get lost, refind and marvel at the many possibilities of movement in a space where you normally sit at a table, listening, learning and using only your hands.
Wonderwalkers is a physically interactive performance made especially for the classroom and fun for child and adult alike. Advice age 6 and up, (a group of) children must be accompanied by an adult. Language no problem.
Wonderwalkers is accessible for hearing impaired and disabled audience members (wheelchair access please notify in advance). This performance is less suitable for people with extensive vision problems.
"Alkis Barbas and Myrte Marchal gracefully conquer the cliffs, spin around obstacles in the classroom, move with, under and to each other through the unique walking spot, turn everyday walking movements into dance, perform acrobatic tricks, exude an energy you would not expect in a classroom, where you normally have to be glued to your chair. This dance performance in the classroom is a discovery for a lifetime." - Tuur Devens, review Theaterkrant
