Nowon-gu, Seoul (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it will hold the 'After-School Performance Playground' to provide children with various artistic experiences in celebration of the 3rd anniversary of the Nowon Children's Theater opening.

The 'After-School Performance Playground' is a program designed to support emotional healing for elementary school students tired from academy classes and to offer opportunities to cultivate artistic sensitivity. It will be held a total of 8 times from November 8 to December 27, every Wednesday at 2:30 PM, lasting about 70 minutes each session.

This program combines watching performances and hands-on experiences. Participating children will watch about 20 minutes of performance per session and then directly participate in the performance. Various genres are prepared, such as ▲Hheungeol Hheungeol Together Creating Pansori, a pansori performance using onomatopoeia and mimetic words, and ▲Moving with Street Dancers, where children can experience and learn basic street dance moves. The district expects that each child will discover personal preferences and be introduced to unfamiliar genres.

The admission fee is 6,000 KRW per seat for each session. If purchasing a 'package ticket' for all sessions, a special discount applies, allowing booking for 30,000 KRW, and a separate gift will be provided.

Meanwhile, the district will also present planned performances that the whole family can enjoy, including the cheerful black comedy puppet show 'White Country' by Korea's leading puppet theater group 'Yesulmudae San,' and the musical 'Song of the Boyar,' which looks at the pain and hope of refugees through children's perspectives. Detailed performance schedules and other related information can be found on the Nowon Cultural Foundation website.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “The younger the children, the more we need to open paths for artistic sensitivity and imagination to grow through diverse cultural experiences,” adding, “We will continue to plan various contents centered on the Nowon Children's Theater to provide cultural and artistic programs that children can enjoy.”
