Around the piano, children are invited into a sensory adventure—we can listen, we can move, we can see, and we can feel. Jie plays classical music that you may have never heard before or only just barely. On the piano, she conjures up the beautiful, the strange and funny, the frightening and the surprising; with lightning-fast fingers and slow, deliberate movements.

Together with dancers Katja or Annette, students will explore what it means to listen with their whole being—with their entire body, not just with their ears. How do YOU listen best? Jie and the piano influence the movements in the room, but—can the movements also influence Jie and the piano?
