Art workshops for the whole family

Lead GNO & Tour Supporter

As part of the GNO’s tours in Greece, the GNO’s Learning & Participation Department will present two artistic workshops for the whole family, Dad… Shall We Dance? and Rigoletto, at eight locations across Greece.

Μπαμπά… χορεύουμε;

Dad… Shall We Dance?

The dance workshop Dad… Shall We Dance?, adored by fathers and children alike, is an invitation to a highly entertaining dance. Dads dance with their children, skillfully holding ballet poses, exploring the limits of balance, and communicating with their partners through movement and dance. Through motor activities, improvisations, and games, the workshop reveals rhythm and body movement as a philosophy of life and a vital part of daily existence. So far, the workshop has already been conducted in Nafplio and Paros.

(For children aged 4 to 8 with their fathers)

Rigoletto
Designed & implemented by: Weave Group

The workshop Rigoletto is an original multisensory experience, specially designed for infants and children aged 1 to 3. Inspired by Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Rigoletto, it seeks to create a multimedia world of sound, image, and movement with the goal of introducing children to the world of opera through sensory exploration and active participation. Starting with the aria “La donna è mobile” and drawing on natural landscapes, particularly the wondrous world of birds, it explores concepts such as change, transformation, and culmination through an experiential approach. In a specially designed visual space, moving images alternate with colours, accompanied by natural soundscapes and adapted musical themes from Verdi’s works performed live by the group’s musicians. This creates an open learning environment, rich in audio and visual stimuli, where young audiences, accompanied by their chaperones, are encouraged to actively participate, interact, and freely express themselves as they observe the shifting landscapes and motifs.

The event does not follow the conventional format of a typical theatrical performance. Instead, it creates a space open to free expression, imagination, and playfulness, inviting participants to engage in an entertaining conversation with the world of opera.
