Based in Denmark, Theatre Madam Bach is an award-winning company that creates visual theatre for children aged 2 to 6. Their work has toured over 40 countries, placing cultural exchange at the heart of every production. By blending poetic language with immersive soundscapes, they create performances that speak directly to the senses of young children.
In this hands-on masterclass, artists and educators can explore the company’s specific approach to integrating nature and storytelling into performances. Participants will gain a direct look at their creative methods and test advanced techniques through practical exercises.
The session is divided into two distinct parts. First, the company will introduce their professional practice and artistic philosophy. This is followed by an interactive workshop where participants explore storytelling through personal memories and physical objects.
To take part in the practical exercises, please reflect on your earliest memory of nature and bring an object that embodies that specific childhood experience.
