Grounded Gorilla is a contemporary dance workshop for children aged 9 to 13, which takes place outdoors. Through movement exploration, creative tasks and movement games, participants develop body awareness, imagination, coordination and the ability to cooperate in a group. The natural environment of the park becomes a space for dance exploration, play and creation, where elements of contemporary dance, improvisation and group dynamics are intertwined. The workshop encourages free expression, curiosity and the joy of movement.
