ESCAPADE

PECA – Artistic classroom intervention – Kindergarten

A playful journey through movement and spatial awareness, dance and physical theatre, psychomotor coordination, musicality, and the exploration of manual skills.

Children alternate between moments of being protagonists — discovering their own creativity — and moments of being spectators, listening to a story through Kamishibai or watching a performance presented by the artist.

The approach emphasizes play, listening to oneself and others, and free expression, enriched by the technical and artistic guidance of the facilitator.

The world explored blends clowning, puppet and material manipulation, magic, and musical movement.

Each session includes three phases connected by a common theme:

  1. Body work
  2. Manual exploration through a collective artistic creation
  3. Storytelling, followed by an original song sung together

EXPLOR

PECA – Artistic classroom intervention – Primary school

An artistic and expressive journey through physical and humorous theatre, incorporating principles of dance, object manipulation, puppet construction, circus, clowning, and musicality.

The pedagogy focuses on psychomotor coordination, spatial awareness, listening to one’s surroundings, and each participant’s emotional and creative expression, primarily through body language. Manual dexterity is also developed. Particular attention is given to material manipulation, inspired by the pedagogy and poetics of Philippe Genty, where materials are approached as partners to move and interact with.

Comic theatre plays a central role in lightening the mood and encouraging playfulness. Time is devoted to building puppets from recycled paper and kraft paper, as well as learning how to manipulate them (fixed point, orientation, and direction). A story framework is provided as a basis for inventing narratives featuring the constructed puppets as protagonists.

MAGINETTE

MAGINETTE – Intergenerational Workshop

Between magic and puppet theatre.

To the soft rustle of paper and a spark of imagination, each child creates a puppet that comes to life before the amazed eyes of the participants.

An intergenerational workshop where each child — alone or in collaboration with parents or grandparents — creates a puppet using recycled paper and kraft paper. Participants bring their character to life through a real magic trick, discover the basics of puppet performance and movement, and stage an original story based on a framework provided by the coordinating artist. A shared moment of creativity and imagination, where the invented characters can continue their adventures at home.

In practice:
• Capacity: 12 to 15 children maximum, ages 7 to 11, accompanied or not by their parents
