Let’s create & move together! Join local visual artist, Neda Mazhab Jafari, in collaboration with Simcoe Contemporary Dancers as we embark on a creative journey to make art & dance! This series will find inspiration through the “Seeds to Sow” Public Art exhibition along the waterfront in collaboration with the City of Barrie.
The visual art component of “Create and Move” invites participants to explore their creativity through various mediums such as sculpture, drawing, and painting. Participants will create artworks that reflect themes of growth, transformation, and community.
The dance component of Create and Move is designed to welcome children to creative and contemporary dance. Participants will engage in a variety of dance and movement exercises from choreographed phrases to guided improvisations all around the idea of “Seeds to Sow.” Our focus will be on exploring elements of dance such as space, time, energy, weight and dynamics and learning movement skills through imagination and stories, all with the goal of developing each child’s expressiveness through movement!
Background:
This program responds to the City of Barrie’s temporary public art exhibition, Seeds to Sow. The exhibition features six installations of site-specific artwork that will change Barrie’s landscape from September 27 to November 8. The artworks draw on local ecologies, history, and stories. The act of planting a seed is a powerful symbol of hope and potential. It connects us to ongoing cycles of seasonality, an inheritance from our past and an intention.
