DyskĄsą: Skakuny i bokochody

To hell with the shop­ping fren­zy and insti­tu­tion­al oblig­a­tions — we invite you to a dis­co full of sum­mer free­dom. It will be rhyth­mic and colour­ful, and jump­ing-spi­der-ful. This time our guides to move­ment and dance are spi­ders — and specif­i­cal­ly their extra­or­di­nary ways of moving. 

Did you know that jump­ing spi­ders can leap dis­tances many times their body length? That crab spi­ders walk side­ways, just like crabs? That the har­vest­man, in a stress­ful sit­u­a­tion, shakes and makes cir­cu­lar move­ments with its whole body? The courtship dances of pea­cock spi­ders are total chore­og­ra­phy: they raise their colour­ful abdomens, wave them in all direc­tions, and ele­gant­ly shuf­fle their legs! We’ll find out who among us can do that… But don’t wor­ry, between DJ Myszka’s sets there will be a moment for relax­ing activ­i­ties inspired by the word “pedi­palp” and time to strength­en fam­i­ly bonds.

 First we’ll web our­selves togeth­er at the art work­shop and cre­ate spi­der sweet­ies to dec­o­rate the dance floor (which you can take home after­wards). Come on, the dis­co ball is already shim­mer­ing like a Thwaitesia*

*a genus of spi­der, some­times called the mir­ror or sequin spi­der — the shiny spots on its abdomen reflect light, cre­at­ing extra­or­di­nary, shim­mer­ing light effects.

Event for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 3+
