2–5 Years 보인다 I See You

I See You is a touching early-years theatre experience where sounds, images and sensations transform the mundane into dreamlike worlds - worlds where our stories connect and liberate us. A collaboration between artists from Australia and Korea, this bilingual and interactive performance will inspire play, warm the heart, and set the imagination alight.차가운 눈 속에서 오들오들 떨어보고, 하얀 눈 위에 발자국을 남겨보아요. 쏟아지는 빗속에서 맘껏 달려도 보고, 우리 안의 기억 속을 이리저리 여행해봐요. 긴 선을 따라 생겨난 도로 위를 씽씽 달려 보고, 사뿐사뿐 걸어도 보아요. 자, 이젠 난 당신을 볼 수 있어요.

보인다 I See You는 우리가 일상에서 듣고, 보고, 느끼던 평범한 소리와 이미지 그리고 감각을 마치 꿈결과도 같은 새로운 경험의 세계로 전환해주는 유아•어린이 체험 연극입니다. 한국 및 호주 예술가들의 공동협업으로 만들어진 본 공연은 한-영 2개 국어로 진행되며, 극 중 관객과의 상호 교감을 통해 놀이에 대한 새로운 영감을 불러일으키고, 관객의 가슴을 무궁무진한 상상력으로 따뜻이

채워줄 것입니다.

CREATIVE LEARNING GUIDE Together, We feel the cold and place footsteps in the snow. We run through raindrops and sail across memories. We bustle and balance as highways unravel. And then, I see you.

보인다 I See You is a touching early-years theatre experience where sounds, images and sensations transform the mundane into dreamlike worlds - worlds where, despite our differences, our stories connect and liberate us. A collaboration between artists from Australia and Korea, this bilingual and interactive performance will inspire play, warm the heart, and set the imagination alight.

Inspired by children’s capacity to intuitively explore & generally accept the differences of others, 보인다 I See You begins when 3 displaced characters – Paper, Plastic & Rope – come together under strained, repressive circumstances.Against the odds of this difficult context, a playful process of sharing transpires. Fuelled by an insatiable curiosity & yearning for human connection, each character explores the other’s similarities & understands their differences, ultimately liberating themselves through playful collaboration. The playfulness of these exchanges resonate deeply with audiences as this performative & participatory experience of difference, negotiation & acceptance unfolds through a combination of image, movement, physical storytelling, object puppetry, all heightened by an immersive production and sound design.Without negating the cultural and gender identity of each performer, the characters’ unique differences will be invented through design & costume, with each embodying the attributes of their name-sake material, positioning ‘difference’ as an invented cultural concept.This reflects Imaginary Theatre’s research on how children understand & perceive others. Rather than focus on human differences, young children innately respond to what they see as the same - an instinct that as artists and adults we can find inspiration in. In this way, will affirm & privilege children’s instincts, perspectives & insights, and scaffold a dynamic intergenerational theatre experience.

ART FORM FOCUS:The Arts, SOSE and Health and Physical Education

KEY MESSAGES:How do we see and understand others?

LEARNING OPPORTUNITY:Children could respond to this experience by reflecting and describing how the characters played, interacted and solved problems. This could be explored further through play-based drama workshops which encourage participants to solve real-life problems using paper, plastic and rope, the same 3 types of objects utilised in the performance.

Through viewing and reflecting 보인다 I See You, audiences will recognise and celebrate difference, thus encouraging children to connect with others and develop a broader understanding of the world.

LEARNING ACTIVIITES:LET’S TALKDiscuss how your child/children felt during the show.Examples:• What happened in the show?• Who were the characters in the performance? How were they
