i.Lab – Arts for Childhood – Immersive Training

Training that offers an immersive formative process in the field of art for children, integrating the presentation of a play of theatrical music for families with babies. The preparation of this piece involves experiencing situations of musical practice (voice and movement) and awareness of the importance of playing and careness. Awareness of the need to care for the environment, communicative musicality, music as an instrument for human development and as a mediator in the interaction with babies will be transversal to all action.

Meeting Point: PaPI Opus 8.z

PaPI – Opus 8.z is a live musical theatre performance taking place on Zoom for an intimate audience, in the ‘home’ of those watching and taking part. Everyone is invited to embark on a journey into the world of birds, guided by a performer who engages with the audience and helps them ‘spread their wings’.

In PaPI – Opus 8.z, the audience is also the breath of what unfolds, the inspiration for what is created. The audience is part of the play; they are invited to participate, interact and communicate. The journey into the world of birds is undertaken by everyone.
