Introduction
What are these elves and figures strolling around Pedion tou Areos? Who's summersaulting and dancing on the benches? Inspired by Pedion tou Areos, primary school pupils are transformed into Park Elves with the help of puppets they will make from natural materials and recyclable trash during the workshop.
In each of its iterations, the Onassis Fast Forward Festival—Athens focuses on the concept of public space, inviting all of us to see the city in new and creative ways! In the “Park elves” workshop, which will take place over 3 two-hour sessions, the children will narrate their own stories about the park. They will make their own dolls out of natural materials and recycled rubbish, drawing on the images, animals and people they encounter in the park for inspiration.
The workshop will lead naturally into a discussion about waste as a parameter of human culture. The children will then pool their thoughts and ideas and work together on the “Park elves” action, in which they will have the opportunity to present the results of their hard work to the public! They will also get to meet their fellow artists Chro Delat and Anton Kats, see the projects they have created, and discuss a subject they all have in common: the park.
