Children’s Forest Group
BAU has invited artist and somatic trainer Barbara Gamper to develop a program with the younger audience in mind. In dialogue with Eva Koťátková and her textile fish, created during her 2025 Pastoral Twilight residency, Barbara will guide children through Becoming Fish, Becoming Ocean—a series of exercises attuned to the breathing of more-than-human beings. Taking the fish as a point of departure, the program opens a collective exploration of how organs such as the heart and lungs pulse, expand, and contract in their own rhythms. Participants will be invited to inhabit these dynamics through small, shared choreographies.The children’s forest group will conclude the symposium with a parade featuring the textile fish through the forests and meadows of Orlické Mountains.
