Power Kids: Matchbox Theatre

We invite kids ages 7-12 and their families for an exciting creative Power Kids workshop, Matchbox Theatre! What does it mean to get to know a landscape? Inspired by Sharon Lockhart’s WINDWARD, participants will explore landscapes through slow looking, drawing, and storytelling. We will experiment with long, continuous lines that record movement, distance, and changing perspectives. Participants will then transform their drawings into a simple crankie theatre, creating a scroll-like landscape that can be revealed gradually through movement. As the landscape unfolds, we will consider how drawing can be a way of travelling through a place. Plan Your Visit: • For ages 7–12 (younger or older siblings welcome) • Wear comfortable, art-friendly clothing • Parents or guardians must stay with their child • Bring a bag or container to take creations home • Registration opens 5 weeks before the event
