Young Opera in the classroom

Through our wide range of workshops, our workshop leaders give all students the opportunity to explore the components of performing arts within their respective areas of expertise. The workshop leader comes to your school, and all you need is a classroom with enough space to move around, for those who want to experience a ballet or mime workshop, we recommend a larger space. Read more about each workshop below:

Ballet Workshop

In a playful way, we explore the universe of dance! Students get to try the basics of ballet and explore how it feels to express themselves through their bodies. We change perspectives, create new worlds through choreography, and try both large and small expressions of emotion. How can we tell a story through movements to music?

  • Target group Preschool class - Grade 9 
  • Location At the school
    A space is needed where all participants can stretch out their arms in a circle without touching each other. 
  • Price Workshop of about 90 minutes costs 4,000 SEK + VAT/group 
    Following workshops at the school, same day, about 90 minutes 2,500 SEK + VAT/group

Opera Workshop

We explore opera – where drama, music, singing, and movements become one! How do you actually sing like that? We try different emotional states and dynamics in voice and body. Why do we suddenly feel sad or happy from music? We do drama exercises to music with different subtexts, tell stories with song and movement, and try both taking space and giving focus – how does it feel?

Mime and Music Workshop

We put words and singing aside and focus on the body as an instrument – what can we tell with it? We move to different kinds of music and focus on physical expression. How do we become light as a feather or heavy as a stone? Students get to try the techniques of mime actors – from simple movements to more complex choreography. Can we make things that don't exist visible with the help of our bodies?

Musical Storytelling Workshop

We introduce students to musical storytelling – how can music drive a story forward? Students practice their listening and imagination, and through various music and drama exercises, explore their voice and body. What role does music play in the story, and what happens when we add sound and music to a story?
