Open to children ages 7 – 12. All children must be accompanied by at least one adult.
Registration is required. Space is limited.

Filmmaker Brune Charvin, writer Khesrau Behroz, and composer Kate Eberstadt recently collaborated on The Hutto Project, a music and performance education program for displaced children living within a refugee camp in Berlin. 25 students came together from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, and Moldova and created original choral and performance works. On Family Day @ WMC, the artists invite you to join their classroom where they will replicate the same choral & movement exercises, share their experiences, and lead participants in reflection.

Makram Hamdan is a dancer and choreographer who has performed with Robert Wilson for over 20 years, and continues to work closely with The Watermill Center as a teaching artist in both theatre and movement. Hamdan’s passion for performance embraces students of all ages and abilities. For Family Day, Hamdan will lead a workshop in movement discovery, and how to use language as a performative impulse to create movement. Participants of all skill levels welcome!

Families will collaborate to create and perform together while learning. Dress comfortably and be ready to move!
