I be, i me #PlimPlamPlum.

Con­tem­po­rary music and art for young chil­dren — inter­ac­tive work­shops and micro-con­certs for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 0–5

A dot. So small. Tiny. The small­est in the fam­i­ly of shapes and signs. A hole, a speck, a mote of dust. A lit­tle point. And yet it means so much. You can’t say it’s “nei­ther here nor there”. It is pre­cise­ly “all of it” — it always knows every­thing. A mas­ter of deci­sive­ness and con­cen­tra­tion. The small­est thing in a score. What does a dot sound like? And what does a piece made of many dots sound like? Dur­ing the work­shop we will play with points, dots and droplets: those vis­i­ble to the eyes and those audi­ble to the ears. We will lis­ten. And we will cre­ate our own indi­vid­ual, son­ic dots.

About the series: #PlimPlam­Plum. Con­tem­po­rary music and art for young chil­dren is a series of work­shops, micro-con­certs and inter­ac­tive events in which the very youngest chil­dren — even those from their ear­li­est years of life — have the chance to encounter pro­fes­sion­al, clas­si­cal con­tem­po­rary music in the finest per­for­mances. Dur­ing the work­shops and activ­i­ties with­in the series, chil­dren will expe­ri­ence joy­ful and cre­ative play engag­ing the child togeth­er with a par­ent, as well as cre­ative, sen­so­ry impro­vi­sa­tions and tasks focused on achiev­ing sen­so­ry inte­gra­tion. Spe­cial­ly cho­sen pieces, con­tem­po­rary songs and impro­vi­sa­tions, sound games, sen­so­ry-art and move­ment activ­i­ties, pro­duc­ing sounds and tim­bres “close to the baby’s ear”, but also work­ing with atten­tive­ness and in prox­im­i­ty to the child’s oth­er sens­es — and above all the care­ful obser­va­tion of small chil­dren’s reac­tions to sound — are the goal and cen­tral premise of the #PlimPlam­Plum work­shop series, realised with­in the frame­work of the artis­tic schol­ar­ship of the Cap­i­tal City of Warsaw.
