Sveppafár smiðja fyrir 6-11 ára: Ert þú vitlaus í sveppi?

Do you wonder how a ‘Slímóralingur’ or a ‘Jötungíma’ might sound? Can they dance? Sing? Do they say hello?

Mushroomania invites mushroom fanatics aged 6-8, to join us for a magical workshop where we explore the secret life of mushrooms! Together, we will explore how mushrooms sound, move, and communicate, building a playful, shared fungi library. Through playful research and discovery, each new finding inspires the final dance work Mushroomania/Sveppafár.

During the workshop, we will:

Create sounds inspired by mushrooms

Create movement inspired by mushrooms

Draw the imagined world we build together, culminating in a small exhibition

No previous experience is needed - just curiosity and a sense of adventure!
