Schools

Casino Luxembourg offers a mediation/visit programme aimed at school groups in basic, secondary and higher education, as well as relay houses and school foyers. It aims to develop a critical sense and observation, to open the discussion on the different forms of creation and their relationship to the current world.

The mediation team looks forward to welcoming you to two dynamic and innovative group exhibitions. Ithe exhibition Theatre of Cruelty is rooted in, and takes its name from French artist Antonin Artaud’s (1896-1948) radical vision of experimental theatre. Formulated in the 1930s, Artaud’s theatre sought not to present polite fictions but to spiritually cleanse its audience by bypassing reason in favour of the body, the senses, and the extremes of emotion – like an exorcism or an ancient rite.

Curated by Nora Cristea and Vincent Schneider (from the online platform Contemporary Artist Things) and commissioned by Kevin Muhlen, €AT brings together the work of fifty international artists in a large catalogue of limited-edition artworks available for purchase at affordable prices. Like a visual banquet, the works are exhibited across two large tables, their horizontal display underlining the equal treatment given to each of the participating artists

Guided tours
Guided tours can take several forms: visits in the company of an exhibition guide, around the history of the Casino, discussion of contemporary art or other topics.

Tailor-made workshops
These are workshops directly linked to the current exhibition. After the guided tour, the participants carry out specific projects under the supervision of a mediator.

Permanent workshops
Accessible all year round and independent of temporary exhibitions, these workshops are inspired by the permanent works of the Casino.

In addition to the art mediation/visits offered at Casino Luxembourg, it is possible to organise workshops, educational projects or guided tours adapted to the school curriculum or to the subjects discussed in class. These projects and creative works can span several sessions, depending on your availability and needs.

Intra and extra muros collaborations
Do you have an idea for a specific workshop, a particular request for your class, or the desire to create your tailor-made project? Do not hesitate to submit them to us! Our team is always looking for new projects and collaborations. Based on exchange and transdisciplinarity, these projects can extend over several sessions and adapt to the school curriculum.

Continuing education for teaching staff
All training and master classes for teaching staff are approved by the Institut de formation de l’éducation nationale (IFEN).

WORKSHOPS
in the framework with Theatre of Cruelty

Exquisite Corpse – Light and Shadow 
Students create their own absurd scenarios using the exquisite corpse technique. They then use light and shadow to bring their dramatic texts to life in a shadow theatre production.   

Absurd inventions
The pupils design absurd machines. Like excellent designers, they create a product sheet including a technical drawing and a brief description.   

Hiding your emotions
Students draw inspiration from the exhibition to create masks representing different emotions, using drawings and collage elements.   

They are then photographed wearing their masks.  

Dada poetry (Tour)
The pupils discover the exhibition through an interactive and poetic tour. In the exhibition, they encounter not only the works and concept of theatre according to Antonin d'Artaud, but also the writing of Dadaism.   

Drawn tour
The pupils discover the exhibition through the prism of drawing. By taking on various drawing challenges, they develop their eye and explore the artistic representation of emotions.

Print and rep€AT
Students make large foam stamps with which they produce their own prints in series.

S€cond Hand
In this workshop, students will use the stamping technique to create colour variations of their hands. They will print their hands in rows and repetitions, experimenting with mass production reminiscent of pop art.
