Film, Clowning and Circus Magic: Cirkino lets children step into the spotlight
In the Circus House Rambazotti in Kassel, children and young people transform well-known ideas from silent films into their own comedic scenes. At the Circus Holiday Workshop Cirkino, comedy, clowning, sound pantomime, and film come together – a creative family experience with lots of movement, children's laughter, and shared time.
Great Cinema with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton
Participants begin by discovering the world of great clowns and filmmakers from the silent film era. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, and the Talmadge sisters provide inspiration for their own play ideas. A child-friendly introduction to the rules of comedy encourages bold performances, surprising twists, and playful experimentation.
Stumbling, Wondering, and Laughing Together
In the comedy training, theatrical falls, stumbling, and the conscious play with movement are the focus. Children learn how body language tells stories and how small mishaps can create funny moments. Age-appropriate learning, mutual consideration, and a safe handling of one's body are the center of attention.
When Sounds Bring Images to Life
With voice, simple percussion, and sound effects, participants provide soundtracks for small scenes. From steps, movements, and everyday activities, their own sound worlds emerge. This learning experience strengthens imagination, teamwork, concentration, and expressiveness. Together with musicians, the scenes are professionally recorded and filmed.
From Workshop Idea to Ring
The workshop connects media education, theater pedagogy, and circus arts. Children experience how an initial idea grows into a completed scene through rehearsals, listening, and collaborative design. At the end, a film and their own works are presented in the ring. This way, the holiday course becomes a visible success experience for the young artists.
Family-Friendly, Inclusive, and Supported
Cirkino is aimed at children aged 8 and up according to the organizer and takes place from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Circus House Rambazotti. The workshop is created in cooperation with the Filmladen, the Girls House Kassel, and the Youth Migration Service. The program is supported as part of Arts Open Worlds, Culture Makes Strong, and by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Families have the opportunity to secure free places.
Conclusion: Cirkino offers children a special holiday experience between film classics, clowning, music, and circus. If you enjoy movement, imagination, and learning together, you will experience a workshop full of wonder, fun, and stage in Kassel. Get informed now and inquire about the spot through Rambazotti.
