Plim Plum Plam

Inter­ac­tive work­shops and micro-con­certs for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 3–5

Lili, Nini and me

The straight line — the chief con­duc­tor in the world of shapes. It drills all the shapes into a sin­gle line, con­stant­ly insist­ing on straight­en­ing sides and angles. Relent­less­ly demands atten­tion to the line. Its favourite phrase: “have a back­bone”! Every­one must main­tain not only the ver­ti­cal, but also the hor­i­zon­tal. It does­n’t under­stand the world of sounds, unless they ring out in Morse code. At phil­har­mon­ic con­certs noth­ing thrills it more than the baton. It loves being “straight as a string”, even when it sleeps. All is well when most of the shapes around it have straight lines, sides and right angles. But what hap­pens when, sud­den­ly and with­out warn­ing, a lyri­cal, undu­lat­ing, emo­tion-filled — melod­ic line — appears nearby?

About the workshops:

#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. Anna Kierkosz — the orig­i­na­tor and author of the series is a cre­ator of book-projects for chil­dren, author and prin­ci­pal realis­er of the beloved “Smykow­iz­je” work­shops and mini-per­for­mances series, which took place reg­u­lar­ly at CSW Zamek Ujaz­dows­ki from 2016 to 2022, in the gallery spaces of U‑jazdowski. She also col­lab­o­rat­ed for many years on the well-known and pop­u­lar Smyko­fo­nia, famil­iar to War­saw fam­i­lies. She is cur­rent­ly cura­tor of edu­ca­tion and projects at Teatr Lalek Guli­w­er and cura­tor of the Fes­ti­val of Con­tem­po­rary Music for Chil­dren “Mała Warsza­wska Jesień”.
