Explore the magic of shadows in a playful theatre workshop where children learn to tame the night through storytelling and light. Participants will craft silhouettes, manipulate puppets and experiment with movement and flickering illumination to create short shadow scenes. The session encourages creativity, teamwork and sensory discovery as kids shape characters, sounds and atmosphere using simple materials and gestures, and see their ideas come to life on a screen.
In French. Kids ages 9 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Create playful word-blends with your child in a gentle workshop about caring. Use your voice, touch, and imagination to mix sounds and meanings into new words that talk about kindness and support. Share stories, whisper soft phrases, and listen to the textures of language. This hands-on, collaborative session invites families to explore feelings, spark creativity, and discover how words can comfort and connect.
In French. Kids ages 7 and up.
Meet Barroux, an author-illustrator who paints vivid worlds inspired by nature and travel. Watch him draw with pencils, brushes and bright acrylics, and hear how live music shapes his lines. Then try his playful techniques—collage, engraving and bold strokes—to invent your own wild, colorful animals. Feel paper and paint, mix colors, and move your hand to create lively textures and shapes. This hands-on encounter sparks imagination and celebrates curiosity.
In French. Kids ages 6 and up.
Olga Fabrizio, an art therapist, leads participatory textile workshops that combine creative practice and therapeutic reflection to explore memory, comfort and social connection.
Participants create a personal textile talisman from reclaimed fabrics, threads and yarns, learning basic weaving and embroidery techniques. Works address themes of repair, protection, comfort and protest, and individual pieces are later combined into a collective textile that examines the interplay between private care and communal creativity.
In French.
