We had a lot of fun at the gamelan workshop last April, held as part of the GMA’s Open Door event (read more about it in the News section of our website). Encouraged by the positive feedback, we are happy to offer a family workshop for Javanese gamelan where children (aged 9 and above) and their parents can bond over learning a new music.

10 & 11 October 2026

Join us for a two-day introduction to the beautiful world of Javanese Gamelan.
Gamelan is a traditional Indonesian ensemble where every player has an important role. Together, the group creates rich and beautiful music through listening, cooperation, and rhythm.

This workshop invites you to connect deeply with your inner self through the healing power of your voice.

Kathak is the classical dance form of Northern India, rooted in storytelling, rhythm, and graceful movement. With its origins in both temple and court traditions, Kathak blends intricate footwork, rapid spins, expressive gestures, and rhythmic play into a richly layered art form.
Part 1 – Rhythm & Movement
Part 2 – Expression & Gesture

5 July 2025

Discover the captivating art of storytelling through Classical Indian Dance Theatre! In our six-hour workshop, you will immerse yourself in the world of Abhinaya – the art of expressing emotions through movement.

You will learn how to bring stories to life using hand gestures, eye movements, and head gestures. Experience the powerful impact of these forms of expression on the art of storytelling and find an outer expression for your inner experiences.

This two and a half-hour session offers a hands-on and reflective introduction to musical improvisation. But it’s not just about how to improvise on your instrument — it’s about how to react, correspond, and stay present with both musical and non-musical elements.

You’ll explore the role of awareness, rhythm, tension, timing, and spontaneous decision-making through guided exercises and group interaction.
