Come play with the artist!
Ever wondered what a ‘wobbly zig-zag' or ‘floaty bounce’ might look like?
Join artist Nadia Odlum for a fun word-mixing game that turns everyday movement into something extraordinary!
Create silly and surprising ways to move by combining descriptive words with action words. Write your combinations on colourful cards, then mix and match them with words created by other visitors to discover hilariously inventive movements.
Will you drift heavily?
Skip mysteriously?
Teleport dramatically?
Perfect for tamariki and whānau and anyone who loves to play with language and imagination.
All ages welcome—caregivers are encouraged to join in!
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
All workshop participants must have a ticket.
