How to play? Theatre props workshop at the exhibition “I Want to Play!”

The new exhibition of the Theatre and Music Museum, “I Want to Play!”, introduces the backstage world of theatre and music in a playful way. In the autumn and winter season, family workshops take place so that together we can learn more about the worlds of theatre and music. Each workshop has a limited number of places.

The last workshop of the season, butafoor, takes place on Sunday 6 December at 12:00.

The butafoor workshop introduces one of the most exciting areas of theatre: making stage props. You learn how to make realistic or fantastical butafoor objects from different materials. Each visitor makes one object. The workshop is led by Katrin Nigumann, a recognised butafoor who trained in the decorator-butafoor specialism at the Viljandi Culture Academy of the University of Tartu, graduating in 2014.

The workshop lasts about one hour and holds 10 children together with their accompanying adults. Each family makes one butafoor object to take home.

We recommend coming with children or grandparents, who need to buy a museum ticket in advance or on site. The workshop ticket also includes entry to the exhibition “I Want to Play!”.
