The dancer Elisabeth Schilling offers dance workshops for children in the child psychiatric ward of the Kannerklinik. Through dance, the children learn to have self-confidence again.

The project aims to:

• Learn to express themselves nonverbally
• Redirect the aggressiveness that can arise due to the difficult everyday life of children
• Discover hidden talents
• Strengthen the children's self-image

Dancing, having fun with movement, expressing themselves. The group of children of different ages, big and small, girls and boys, addicted to dance or football or silent, that's how I discovered them during my first visit.

With these children who love to move, I want to develop their imagination in relation to movement; to vary their gestures, to experience dance with them not only through the form of the gestures, but above all through the forces that generate movement: motivation, intention, connection to the earth, connection to what surrounds us, space, other children and adults; connection to oneself.
