Moomin and emotions - experiential shadow theater workshop

9.11.2025

15.00 - 15.45

Haiharan taidekeskus, Haiharankatu 30, 33710 Tampere

In the workshop, we learn shadow theatre, get to know Moomin books and practice recognizing emotions.

As a warm-up, we name emotions and try out the effect of emotions on the body and voice. Next, the children get to try out the shadows of different Moomin characters in a small theater with a shadow screen and a curtain. We discuss theater, shadows, and Moomin. The audience recognizes the characters and emotions from the shadow screen. Finally, we talk about the fear of the dark. Often, something that scares them turns out to be harmless. The scary monster is huge, but the company of a friend and dancing help with fear. The children face the shadow of a large monster in pairs and start dancing, the monster becomes small and dances away.

The workshop lasts 45 minutes. The target group is especially 4-8 years old, but shadow theater is also suitable for all ages.

The maximum number of audience members is 50 children.

Free admission. Welcome!

Organized by Tampere City Public Cultural Services.
