For several years, Transcultures has initiated, in the framework of the City Sonic festival in Mons, a series of workshops Sonic Kids now developed with the cultural centre le manège.mons. Within a few hours the children and the youngsters (different age groups) can encounter various sound practices (from DJing to circuit bending, from sound poetry to invented instruments). Participants are supervised by artists and the City Sonic staff with an approach that is both fun and creative. With Sonia Paço Rocchia, the kids will discover the sounds of Slinky, they will exercise at DJing with Elephant Power and freely play with the sounds in a ‘Récré à sons’ (sonic playtime) with Rudy Romanoswki.
