Light fragments have scattered everywhere. Let’s collect them! What tool should we use? How about the giant screen hanging in the air. Together it becomes a soft “net” as we chase and catch pieces of light through movement games. Led by dance artists, children and adults will stretch, play, and move with visual elements inspired by scenes from the animation The House of the Heart created by Artist Florence Lee—spinning, swinging, bouncing and more—bringing dreamy family time where images seem to step out of the flat screen into the space around us.

In the pitch-dark deep sea, tiny glimmers appear like stars. Come explore this luminous world with your family. Parents and children will become sea creatures and “draw” in the air with glowing objects, turning movement into trails of light. We’ll capture these traces in photographs, freezing a magical moment from the ocean’s hidden night.
