Children at the festival!
18th of Mai 09
Children are very welcome at the Festival. Our wish is to integrate parents and their kids as much as possible into the festival process.
We are offering childcare during the intensive in the morning. During other times, parents can organize childcare among themselves. The festival venue is surrounded by a park area which is great for resting and playing. We do not have an extra indoor space for kids. Even though we have had very good experiences with parents and their kids at our Festival in the past, we want to mention here again that the main focus of our Festival is the exploration and the sharing of the experience of Contact Improvisation.
For more details about parents with kids see the PDF file here.
The deadline for the video competition has past!
