A creative workshop inviting children on a journey through the “sound of water” to explore the relationship between sound, the body, and imagination. Through the practice of Deep Listening, children will learn to listen attentively and transform their inner experiences into movement and music.

The workshop includes:

• Listening and Moving

 The journey begins with listening to the sounds of flowing water, before transforming these sensations into bodily movement. Through imagination, children will become streams of water in motion, gradually expanding into the many living beings that inhabit aquatic ecosystems.

• Creating Musical Instruments from Nature (Bamboo Riverstick DIY)

Children will create their own sound-making instruments inspired by the sound of water using bamboo. Along the way, they will discover how sounds are created and learn simple approaches to instrument-making using natural materials.

• Creating Sound Together

Using the instruments they have made, participants will collaboratively build a river soundscape. Through this process, children will practice listening to others, adjusting rhythm, and connecting their own sounds with the group.

• Showcase Performance

The workshop concludes with a short performance, “Melodies of the River,” co-created by the children — like a single stream flowing together through sound, movement, and imagination.

This workshop aims to create a space where children can freely express themselves, practice listening both inwardly and outwardly, and experience learning through the arts in ways that deeply connect the self, others, and nature.
