In the service of children's education, films as a pedagogical support tool.
Walking, running, swimming, falling, sliding, pushing, turning, spinning, balancing... children from a very young age naturally learn to master their bodies.

Body expression, visual, auditory and tactile activities, require concentration, encourage discovery of body movements in space and time, and the ability to grasp and transform an object or a place.
Physical and artistic education encourages expression in groups and contributes to children's emotional and social development.
Using Norman McLaren's short films, interpret and reproduce with one's body the position and movement, the rhythm of an abstract form.
Invite a child to create their own choreography
After watching the film programme, in groups of children, imitate the relative positions of the abstract shapes in the film. Each child thinks about how to position themselves to reproduce the drawing.

One group of children chooses a spatial configuration in the classroom and the other group imagines how to represent it as a drawing.
Imagine a choreography together with a beginning, a development and an end.
