Verken jou Nagdrome is an interactive workshop presented by Zarine Roodt that examines dreams as tools for self-reflection, emotional insight, and creativity. Inspired by Carl Gustav Jung, it focuses on dreams as messages from the unconscious and guides for growth. Participants learn basic dreamwork techniques and bring a meaningful dream for guided reflection. A practical SoulCollage activity uses images to visually express dream themes. Through creative exercises and group discussion, the session fosters self-awareness, insight, and dialogue around inner experiences and personal symbolism.

Vrywees – Public Art Project
Vrywees turns the festival into a moving canvas of performance. Throughout the day, artists emerge from the crowd – dancers, musicians, spoken-word artists, stilt walkers, acrobats, puppeteers, and fashion in motion – transforming ordinary spaces into moments of wonder. These spontaneous encounters invite audiences to pause and experience art in unexpected ways. Artistically curated by Zane Muller, Vrywees celebrates imagination, movement, and the shared magic of live performance with festivalgoers.
