The Play of Charcoal<\/h1>\n

LagiLagi Returns with Plays by Celebrated Artists Inspired by Children\u2019s Creativity. Following the success of Charcoal for Children\u2019s initial edition of 2016\/2017, LagiLagi, together with three celebrated performing artists from three different cities (Papermoon Puppet from Yogyakarta, Kawamura Kohey from Tokyo, and Monez&Ninus from Bali) is coming back with performances of original plays that will be held in two weekend sessions (2-4 February and 23-25 February 2018) at CushCush Gallery, Bali. The tickets are sold at IDR 500K (includes drinks) for the premiere shows and IDR 100K for the regular shows, with the seats limited to only 50 to enhance the intimate viewing experience. All the plays are the result of the 2017\/2018 edition of Charcoal for Children workshops. Living up to its title \u2018PlayPlay\u2019, this second edition held three workshops in the span of September to November 2017, conducted by the aforementioned performing artists. Each workshop used different methods of creativity. Papermoon Puppet invited children to tell stories about trees in various ways by asking them to make trees and dolls using charcoal sticks, charcoal ink, waste woods, and newspapers. With Kohey, children learned more about the art of shadow play, to make shadow puppets, using cardboards, charcoal, and paint. Monez&Ninuz used music for children to experiment, moving their bodies to the music while holding charcoal in both hands, scratching it along the white paper to make a free drawing. \u2018LagiLagi\u2019 (translates to \u2018repeatedly\u2019, \u2018again and again\u2019, \u2018keep returning back\u2019) is a social initiative started by CushCush, a designer studio and workshop in Bali that specializes in uniquely designed crafted contemporary furniture, accessories, and artworks. LagiLagi was meant to carry both CushCush\u2019s environmental awareness and social mission of passing the goodness of creativity to the next\u00a0generation, starting from the early age.<\/p>\n
