Interactive workshop for children 6-12 years exploring the myth
of Persephone.
The
gods were far from perfect; they got into all sorts of mayhem. They fell
in love, squabbled, made mistakes, chased young girls and helped heroes
in their exploits. They were often vain, jealous, spiteful, bad-tempered
and even lonely. They also used elaborate disguises to trick their unsuspecting
and hapless victims. This interactive and hands on workshop for children
(6-12 years) will allow them to creatively explore the myth of Persephone
and discover how the ancient Greeks explained the four seasons on earth.
Children will be assisted by actors, visual artists and teachers in storytelling,
drama and art-making activities. They will construct their own mini-stage
and characters to allow them to recreate the magic at home.
