A Little Event For The Youngest Citizens Of Blanchardstown
Thursday 24 May 2018
10am-3.15pm
Shadows, sights, sounds, scribbles, giggles, dance and draw ... Join Us For Some Toddler Fun!
A host of wonderful artists and art forms await you to see, hear and experience new adventures during our Toddler Takeover Adventure!
Draiocht’s Toddler Takeover celebrates the limitless imagination of the very young child and the magic that happens when it is combined with the world of artists and the arts. This year we explore synaesthesia with Sights and Sounds and think about really important questions; How big is a shadow? How does music make me move? Can I draw without a pencil?
For the third year and for this one day, Draíocht will transform into a big space for adventures through story, visual arts, music, circus and dance for the very young. Scribble and draw inspired by Sharon Kellys exhibition, dance, move and see a mysterious and strange land of domes, shapes and forms in our main auditorium, discover musicians playing, Roll Up with the circus, dance with shadows, play with music, watch a film unfold and more.
Children are invited to bring their insatiable curiosity and their adults to explore, discover new art forms, create, play, dance, draw, sing and nurture creative potential, while having fun too.
