Abstract

ORIG CZ EN

In the original language

A children's book - this is a wonderful world full of discoveries. Discovering words, meanings, colors, shapes, but also rhythm, sounds and movement that provoke our sensory cognition and tickle our emotions. And it is precisely music and dance that we will set out to look for together among the lines of children's fantasy. Whether our musical mind and creative soul are attracted by a story, a poem, or the visual site of the book, from the first rustle of the pages we are drawn into the play between the world of imagination and its embodied expression. And so, we will theoretically as well as practically follow in the footsteps of experiential reading in motion, which is natural for children's readers, and we will experience that we can literally "devour" a book with all our senses.

In Czech

Dětská kniha – to je úžasný svět plný objevů. Objevování slov, významů, barev, tvarů, ale i rytmu, zvuků a pohybu, které provokují naše smyslové poznávání a lechtají naše emoce. A právě hudbu a tanec se společně vydáme hledat mezi řádky dětské fantazie. Ať už naši hudební mysl a tvůrčí duši přitahuje příběh, báseň, nebo vizuální stránka knihy, od prvního zašustění stránek jsme vtaženi do hry mezi světem fantazie a jejím ztělesněným vyjádřením. A tak se teoreticky i prakticky vydáme ve stopách zážitkového čtení v pohybu, které je pro dětské čtenáře přirozené, a zažijeme, že knihu dokážeme doslova „hltat“ všemi smysly.
