Brief narration of an ethnic story using masks from different cultures: African, Japanese, Indian. After that, the kids will be invited to make their own mask, choosing from the base-models supplied by the entertainers and to customize the mask following their imagination, using (as a deliberate choice) poor and common materials such as cardboard, paper, tissue paper, laces, feathers, bark, shells, pieces of coloured cloth. At the end of the lab, for those who are interested, there is a little show using the masks. - DO-IT-YOURSELF COSTUMES
The dressed-up entertainer tells a story changing her dress every now and then behind a coloured screen: she will be a fairy or an old lady, a princess or a pirate according to the costume or accessory she wears. The kids will be invited to make up their customized costume, first of all drawing it on big modelling paper and translating it afterwards on the fabric. The dresses will be simple, as tunics, and they will be decorated with buttons, ribbons, small pieces of lace or trimmings. - AND WHICH MASK ARE YOU??
Starting from a story telling and entering the world of its characters, each kid makes, according to his/her imagination, a coloured and funny mask.
Wearing the mask and playing with other children, the chosen character and the story will become alive. - THE MONSTERS’ FACTORY – 6-12 years

At the end we could animate the toys as in the fairy tale “the nutcracker”, that could be told at the beginning of the lab. - BATIK T-SHIRTS
