Arte Jovem 2024
The summer workshops are back!
Creative Dance, Character Building Lab, Theatre and Video for children aged 7 to 12.
Another school year is coming to an end, the summer holidays are about to start and with them comes another edition of Arte Joven. This year’s activities will take as their starting point the question “What does freedom mean to you?”, a pertinent question to think about and work on in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of the 25 April revolution.
There will be Creative Dance with Carla Ribeiro, a Character Building Laboratory with Andrei Bessa and Theatre and Video with Manuela Pedroso and João Pinto. The youngest will be able to dance, sing, write, play, learn, create, think, interpret and create stories with new friends. On the last day there’s time to invite all the family and friends to attend a final presentation of the work done.
