Staged Story - Summer Course for Children 7-12 Years (FULL)

During the course, we explore media literacy and the art of performance by planning a show that will be filmed and edited into a video.

What does media literacy mean? How do you know if something is true? What does it feel like when something turns out to be false? In what ways is our perception of reality constructed?

During the course, we plan and create a performance through play, where summer course participants reflect on media literacy and their own relationship to presented reality. The performance is planned and scripted together. The rehearsed performance is filmed and edited into a finished video work.

We learn about the main stages of creating a performance, including set design, costumes, filming, and video editing using simple editing software. We become familiar with acting and performing through physical exercises and play.

The course is intended for children 7-12 years old. No prior knowledge is required. Finished video works are distributed to participants at the end of the course. Filmed materials are not used or retained after the course. Participation requires filming permission for the stated purpose.

The course does not include meals, so children must bring their own food and drink bottle.

The course is led by art educators Andra Sarenius and Saban Ramadani.

Languages: Finnish and English as needed.
