Children’s Biennale
5–7 September 2022, Gallery 2, Chinatown
Performance 10 September, 12:00h
The Children’s Biennale will have its finale during the Biennale of Scene Design, 5–7 September, from 16:00h to 19:00h, and on 10 September, on the upper floor of Gallery 2 in Chinatown, where the children will have the opportunity to take part in the final workshops, focusing on this year’s theme of the SCENlab daycare – Puppets.
Semi-finished products, props and puppets were produced at the SCENlab daycare workshops from March to June. They will be finished at the workshops that are part of the Biennale and “brought to life” in short performances. Puppet theatre will be developed through the production of sets (mobile boxes for performing plays), i.e. performance spaces where children will use different puppets: string puppets, hand puppets, and face masks.
The participating children are required to register for one of the four offered slots (they may also attend the workshops in all four slots) by sending an email to deca@bisd.rs, by 1 September 2022. The workshops are free and are intended for children ages 6–10.
The workshops is hosted by Dragana Pilipović and her assistants.

Preparations for the BIENNELE OF SCENE DESIGN 2022
SCENpuppets
The Scenlab Kindergarten Program (February – June) will serve as preparation for the Biennale of Scene Design and exhibitions to be held in the Shock Cooperative (22 Zmaj Jovina St.) as part of the side program of the Sterijino Pozorje Festival. The workshops will take place once a month (or more frequently if necessary) and each of them will address a specific subject in order to create a semi-complete product, to be finished during the workshops at the Biennale itself.
The main idea is to use the workshops to develop a puppet theater. The workshops will open with the creation of the performance space – mobile boxes or screens where the puppet performances will take place. The play space is intended to make it possible for children to manipulate the marionette puppets from above, or glove puppets from bellow. There would also be a third type of space, constructed so that children could play on them while wearing masks.
Stories and performances will be conceptualized, and all the remaining work on puppet and stage construction completed – at the Biennale itself. A short puppet play will then be performed during the final phase of the program.
The workshops will take place once a month, on Sundays, between 11 AM and 2 PM. All of the participants will be children aged 6 to 10.
The maximum number of participants is 15, and an e-mail notice will be required in advance.
