The Skidiviikko programme has been published – free children's culture events throughout the municipality
Skidiviikko takes over Tuusula with children's culture from 2 to 7 March. The week will feature a diverse and exciting programme of performing arts, with no fewer than 22 performances scheduled. Registration for the performances begins on Wednesday 11 February at 9 a.m. The week culminates in Children's Saturday on 7 March in Jokela.
During the event week, residents will be offered a wide range of free performances. The Skidi Week programme includes a variety of art forms: music, clowning, dance, circus, poetry performances and puppet theatre. The week begins on a gentle note on Monday with Superteatteri’s Pumpuli baby theatre at the Kellokoski family centre Ikioma. Kellokoski will also host the dance performance Kotilöytöjä (Home Finds), in which materials found in the performer’s own home are transformed into costumes, music and movement.
On Wednesday, 4 March at Tuusulanjärvi School, you can marvel at football juggling in the We Are the Champions performance, and on Thursday, 5 March, at Tuusula Main Library, you can experience the rare art of shadow theatre in the Aidantakainen Atlas performance – a magical trip to the forest awaits. On Wednesday, the Jokela Hall will host the children’s theatre performance Pöllötohtori ja Pitkäkoipi (The Owl Doctor and Pitkäkoipi), which deals with the doctor’s fears, courage and surprising friendship. The Balalaukku clown performance at Pertun School is a delightful jou ey in which entire worlds pop out of a suitcase.
All performances during the week are free of charge, but seats must be reserved in advance as there are a limited number available. The performances will be held at daycare centres, schools and libraries, and children who are cared for at home are also welcome to attend with their guardians.
Children’s Saturday will be celebrated in Jokela on 7 March.
On Saturday, 7 March, Jokela House will host the Muoviamo Bling Lab workshop, where participants can design and make personalised jewellery from waste plastic. The workshop will run non-stop from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Saturday’s performance is Teatteri Konnan’s Molli ja maan ääri (Molli and the End of the Earth). Based on Katri Kirkkopelto’s beloved children’s book, Molli ja maan ääri is a gentle and hilariously funny children’s theatre performance about friendship, homesickness and the courage to step out into the world. There will be two performances at 11 a.m. and 12.30 p.m.
Skidiviikko is held twice a year, in March and November, and is part of Tuusula’s early childhood education cultural education plan, Taika-Kultsua.
