Behind the scenes: the preparation of the children's day

To prepare the children's day (you can read our post about it here) we worked a complete week with the kids and the educators' help. The first day we prepared the decoration for the performance. We wrote in 3 big papers our slogan: "suntem frumosi, suntem naturali, suntem copii" which means "we are beautiful, we are natural, we are kids". With this slogan we wanted to transmit the characteristics of the children: their innocence, their imagination, their empathy, their creativity, their  curiosity... And we wanted to stress that, above all, they are children!

Our perfomance was a mix-dance of 3 songs:
- Break the chain
- A part of One billion rising
- I'm walking on sunshine

The first 2 songs belongs to the "One billion rising", a project which wanted to aware people about the violence against women in our world:
"1 in 3 women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her life time.

One billion women raped is an atrocity.
One billion women dancing is a revolution".

They want to make violence against women impossible to ignore and remind the world that united women will never be defeated!! For this they created an event to performance on february 14: a flashmob with the song break the chain. The event was successful, and thousands of flashmobs were performed all over the world.

They share a learning video in Youtube with all the dance steps:
(We learned the steps in a few days!!!)

For the last part of the show we chose a funny song to improvise with our guitars!!!
But wait! Do we have guitars? YES, WE DO!!!

Daniel drew these amazing guitars and every kid painted them how they wanted!
