"Unleash the wildness!" - What happens when children, educators and artists get lost inside themselves?

In a PlayArt program, children, educators and PlayArtist Dorte Abrahamsen have met a moss woman who is cute... but also a little dangerous. Together they have embarked on a mission to bring out spring.

In a Socratic conversation, participants think together and explore a topic using their own experience and curiosity.

"The Mouse and the Cow" - a sensory universe of sounds by Yasmin Elvira Steenholdt

This is a very special section. You are invited into a sensory universe of sounds as you listen to the story created in interaction between LegeKunstner and music artist Yasmin Elvira Steenholdt and a two-year-old boy. Together they explore and meet the mouse and the cow.

Yasmin has extensive experience of working with the youngest children and has created this auditory sensory universe - where play is followed and gathered by the narrator. It is the sound of play, impulse and improvised melody.

You can listen to it on your own or with a group of children and be inspired to play, draw, dance or make up your own stories. You can also lie on the floor and put a piece of cloth over your eyes and listen to the podcast and when it's finished roll over on your stomach and talk about what you heard. It can be heard twice in a row. So you get the whole picture... and who else would you like to meet?

"Throw off the pedagogical cap" - about PlayArt and Opportunity

Artistic processes have a special place when it comes to children in day care - regardless of their background and any challenges they may have. Unfortunately, not all children have equal opportunities to encounter the arts in their everyday lives.

But what can the arts really do to improve opportunities for children? Can it make room for new roles and different narratives? And can it perhaps even give educators a chance to throw off the pedagogical cap every now and then?

In the latest LegeKunst podcast, "Drop the pedagogical cap", Felicia Bech Lillelund (LegeKunst coordinator for the Northern Region and associate professor at UCN) and Sandy Elbæk (LegeKunst co-coordinator for the Northern Region and associate professor at UCN) unfold their research project on opportunity among children. Together with LegeKunst project manager Camilla Høg, they explore how LegeKunst programmes can help to change the usual roles of both the artist and the participating educators and children.

"Invisible threads" - between artistic and art pedagogical processes in LegeKunst

Now's the time to lace up your boots and get ready to wander the artistic peaks.

In this podcast, LegeKunst researcher Hanne Kusk invites you on a journey with visual artist Pia Skogberg and author Mette Hegnhøj, who weave a conversation between playing and experimenting as an artist and artistic practice with the children in LegeKunst.

The podcast can be enjoyed anywhere, and you might even want to go for a walk while listening to the walking interview?

The podcast is produced in collaboration between Hanne Kusk (PhD student at DPU, Lecturer at UCN and PlayArt researcher), Mette Hegnhøj (author and PlayArt artist), Pia Skogberg (visual artist, daily director of Kirsten Kjær's Museum and PlayArt artist) and Kulturprinsen.

"Maybe-Cocoa in the Valley of Fairy Tales"... Sit back and enjoy a visit to an adventurous and sensual sound universe filled with maybe-coffee, secrets and hat-stealing fish, when author Mette Hegnhøj invites you into the process of being a co-creative Play Artist with the Rockets and their adults in Snedsted Kindergarten.

The programme opens up the wondrous stories and universes of books, because Snedsted wanted to focus on working with children's language through aesthetic processes and was interested in wonder: on how to create concentration and immersion around children's books? 

The podcast was created by Mette Hegnhøj, and the real sound recordings were made by PhD student and LegeKunst researcher Hanne Kusk, who followed and participated in the process together with Mette Hegnhøj, educators and children from Snedsted Kindergarten.
