A World Full of Stories


Hands-on Exhibition: A World Full of Stories

 

A World Full of Stories, Playeum's next hands-on exhibition is designed for children aged 1-12 visiting with their schools or families. The exhibition will provide unique environments and installations, within which children can create their own stories and immerse themselves in stories from different cultures. 

A World Full of Stories will feed children's imaginations, promote creative literacy, encourage social and emotional development, celebrate speech, language and drama, and offer unrivalled opportunities for story-building and performance. 

Watch this space for the final line-up of what to expect when the hands-on exhibition opens on 15 November 2016. 

 

The exhibiton comprises various spaces and areas to visit and immerse in:

  • Story Cubes

Cube-shaped structures will provide multiple surfaces and opportunities for story-making, including imagining fantasy characters, creating new narratives, cozying up in the animal den and enjoying the book corner, crammed full of the world’s best story books for children.  

  • Story Raft

Play ‘being at sea’ on a bamboo and rope raft with a flag-flying mast and rudder for steering! The nautical theme continues on the walls around the raft, where children can craft their own sea creature to create a magical marine environment. 

  • Play Making Space

It’s puppet time! Using found and recycled materials, create your own hand-puppets, finger puppets, spoon puppets or others, and then use it in a puppet show. You can also work as a team to produce accompanying sounds to the show and to change the lighting, simultaneously watching your show on a screen.  

  • Story Caves

Enjoy role play in these immersive, multi-sensory caves. In the Listen and Speak cave, experiment with sound tubes, speaking cups, and voice-distortion mechanisms, all built into the fabric of the structure. In the Look and Touch cave, revel in a magical, luminous environment and play with props to create your own alchemic story.

  • The Dark Space

What better way to enjoy stories than through listening to some of Singapore’s finest storytellers? The Dark Space will showcase a specially commissioned storytelling film, where each of the five storytellers will be orating a story from a specific culture. Played on a loop, enjoy 30 minutes of this rich, oral art-form, within a magical space lit up with quietly glowing story icons and motifs on the surrounding walls and ceiling.
