Underjordiske Danse is both a performance and a dance workshop for children aged 3–6 and their accompanying adults.
We invite you into a playful and immersive exploration of the fascinating and hidden world of life beneath the ground! Together, we’ll imagine what it feels like to be microscopic, entangled like roots, dancing like soil microbes. Through shared movement and play, we’ll explore connection, collaboration, and the symbiotic relationships that help life flourish underground. What does it feel like to be a tiny part of something bigger?
The intention of the workshop is to guide participants in observing and moving in ways that spark the imagination, inviting children and adults to sense, feel, and play their way into the micro world beneath our feet.
Amalie Bergstein Nielsen and Kalliopi Siganou are Copenhagen based dance artists working together as an artistic duo in the development of “Underjordiske danse”. Both are graduates of the Danish National School of Performing Arts (2019) and share a strong background in participatory dance practices for children and young audiences.
Amalie brings extensive experience from touring schools, performing in children’s dance productions, and facilitating creative movement spaces for young participants. Kalliopi contributes a practice rooted in participatory performance for children and young audiences and has developed works for schools, kindergartens, libraries and outdoor public spaces, with a focus on creating playful and inclusive formats for both adults and children.
In “Underjordiske danse”, they merge their experiences and shared passion for working with children to create a performance/workshop that explores imagination, movement, and connection inspired by the microscopic life of soil.
Practical information:
The facilitation will be in Danish and/or English depending on the needs of the participants.
Each adult and each child must have their own valid ticket to attend the performance workshop. Choose one standard price ticket + one youth ticket (unge under 25 år) if, for example, you are one adult and one child experiencing ‘Underjordiske Danse‘ together.
