‘Gingerbread man!’ The kids shouted. The artist, Winnie Wong, told a story of Gingerbread man taking an adventure through sound only. They switched off the lights and let our imagination wander. One said they ‘saw’ a bird. ‘What’s the colour of the bird?’ ‘It’s a yellow one, the kind of small, fluffy and active bird.’ Kids around nodded and agreed in the dark.
Thank you for the invitation from The Times Nursery School in Hong Kong to give kids an unusual art experience in the city of practicality – it means that we are opening doors for their closed minds to possibilities.
