REVELRY: NEEDLEWORK AND DANCE—ITS ALL ABOUT GETTING STARTED

Let the drum roll start, the fans flutter and the families get ready, because the festival is about to begin!
The museum is turning into a square, a place of revelry, a meeting point, and it’s opening its doors two at a time to welcome all families in a celebration filled with joy, creativity and unforgettable moments. Welcome to the big celebration of the year!
Because doing needlework and dancing—it’s all about getting started… Let’s gather to celebrate what we’ve shared, what we’ve created and what we’ve experienced! This celebration brings together everyone we’ve worked with throughout the year to close the season enthusiastically with the proposals of the artists who have unquestionably nailed it!
Stars of this big celebration:
Baiven with the kids from ‘Dancing the Neighbourhood’ (Alba Sáenz-López Aumente and Mar Sáenz-López Aumente) have held the Dancing the Neighbourhood workshop on Tuesday afternoons throughout the entire school year. It’s a meeting point for neighbourhood kids where they have discovered dance in unexpected places, expanding their view of movement in the world. What might they be preparing for us for this occasion?
Adriana Reyes and Goya Batalla Batalla have held the From those clays, these seams workshop for nursery and primary school kids, bringing boxes filled with thread, yarn and thimbles, filled with stories they have shared around the pleasure of embroidery. What stories are concealed in those thimbles?
Tania Arias Winogradow, with whom we’ve built real nests where you can rest inside the museum, accompanied by Santiago Rapallo and Eleni Chaidemenaki, suggest a very special afternoon snack for this festive day. Do we really always have to eat sitting around a table?
And now… raise the curtain, play the music and make sure everyone’s here! Because this celebration is not only a party; it’s an homage to everything we’ve experienced. Thanks for stitching this year together with us! See you next year—and keep up this shared joy!
REVELRY: NEEDLEWORK AND DANCE—ITS ALL ABOUT GETTING STARTED
DANCING THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
In this workshop for girls and boys from 6 to 12 years old, we will begin by investigating our body and all its possibilities in movement. We will dance in company, with time and space, and we will create a place of artistic expression enriched by the generational diversity of the group.
making a mountain out of a molehill
We invite infant and primary classes to participate in this workshop to invoke the power of clay and the liveliness of objects, where children will be mediums. This workshop is a stronghold of imagination, creation and magic, so necessary in our learning spaces.
SONGS AND SWEETS: MI CASA SIN PATIO
Children's songs function as a connecting thread of memories, generations and lives separated in space and time. We will put the memory of the older people to play with the intuition of the younger ones, and so turn a nursery rhyme into a song of our lives today: altering the lyrics, trying out instruments and inventing a dance for any age.
