Are you crazy about mushrooms? 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!

MSEA ‘Mouth of the face of the sea’ | Release PartyMSEA announces her fourth album 'Our daily apocalypse walk'. Her music has been described as nightmare pop, ethereal and moody with hints of Julee Cruise and a more demented Anohni.
MSEA’s music has often toyed with the juxtaposition of the harsh and the vulnerable with instrumentals meeting her fragile and emphatic voice, and on the new album this relationship is taken to new levels. The interplay between live instruments and electronic production is explored meticulously on this new album, heightening the tension and further exploring the tenuous boundaries between beauty and discomfort.
