Early Years Workshops: Sculpting Sounds 11 - 12 Jul 2025
A playful, imaginative workshop with Ríona Sally Hartman for children aged 2–5
Explore all the ways we can sculpt, conduct, create, mould and cue sounds with movement.
We’ll conduct each others voices with ribbons twirled in the air, plot out sound paths on the ground that we’ll follow like a treasure map - a playful exploration of creative music making, movement and improvisation.
This workshop is suitable for children who are non speaking, or who speak a language other than English.
