Een kind, een bal en een beweging
Keywords: learning, movement, method design
You would be forgiven for thinking that all learning happened in the head, but this is not true, it is very much rooted in a child’s physical experiences in the world, which are evident from their earliest days…
– Sally Goddard Blythe
The project een kind een bal en een beweging is a research both on the motoric development of children as well as participatory methods.
Specifically, Annick collaborated with a therapist who works with children that face learning- behavioural questions. During several therapy sessions she documented the participants (with their permission), and in doing so developed a new research method referred to as: Participant Documentation.
Crawling, rolling and marching around. These are rhythmic movements preformed repeatedly. This happens to ensure that the central nervous system develops further, so children learn optimally and can use their talents fully.
Een kind, een bal en een beweging contains a research document, a video loop, four prints and three flip-books.
EXHIBITION:
The project will be exhibited at Chrysalid Gallery, Rotterdam, from 17- 25 July. In a duoshow with Julia Gat.
