WORKSHOP 'RADIO PLAYS IN THE CLASSROOM'

In addition to the theatrical concerts, Oorkaan has also created radio plays that develop children's listening skills. Listen to one of our radio plays here. To give children not only the magic of listening to a radio play, but also the pleasure of creating it themselves, Oorkaan offers the workshop 'Audience in the Classroom'. This can be booked separately from a visit to a school concert. During the workshop the children will create their own radio play under the guidance of the Oorkaan workshop leader(s).

A radio play consists of 3 elements: music, text and sound. The radio plays are recorded in a mobile recording studio that is taken to the classroom. The children's radio plays are published online. This allows the children to re-listen to their own radio play, listen to those of the other groups and, in addition, to their parents, grandparents or tutors at home.

The workshop is structured according to the stages of the creative process (SLO, 2019) in which the six musical domains (10foreigner, 2022) are covered. The six domains are singing, playing, moving, listening, reading and notation, composing and improvising. They learn to use these elements to express feelings, to communicate with them and to reflect on their own work and that of others.
