A CHILDLIKE DAY

Following last year’s inaugural ‘A Child-like Day’, the Festival keeps on putting a smile on children’s faces through special concerts, workshops and performances geared towards children, on its second edition. Children will experience an unforgettable day enjoying a rhythm workshop developed by Okay Temiz as well as various other activities which will take place at The Seed @ the Sakıp Sabancı Museum.

This interactive rhythm workshop by Okay Temiz called ‘Catch Your Rhythm’ has two sessions: one for 5 to 8 years old children, and another for those between 9 and 11. Temiz will be teaching children how to play the darbuka, tambourine, claves and maracas, and gift the instruments to participants. Temiz says, ‘People are born with a natural sense of rhythm, because the secret of life is hidden in the rhythmical beatings of our hearts’. He has been holding rhythm workshops for many years in order to help people unearth this natural sense of rhythm. And now, its time for children.
