Tabletop puppetry and disability culture workshop

During this free, two-hour workshop facilitated by 3Arts/Bodies of Work resident artist Rachel Singer, we will collaborate in small groups to bring a tabletop puppet to life and explore our senses as we work with objects. At the end of the workshop, we will discuss take-aways, including how this creative process might impact your future practice or work and the impact of models of disability as we re-imagine a path forward in community.

No theater or performance experience is needed, and sharing with the whole group is always optional.
Please note the capacity for this event is 20 participants and spots are offered on a first come, first served basis.

Artists, educators, activists and healthcare practitioners specialize in being and becoming, but really, we are all experts in our own being and becoming.

The medical model/individual model of disability has isolated us, as individuals and practitioners. We will apply ideas from the political/relational model to explore a path forward. Our hope is to bring people together from many experiences and practices, forming a nourishing space to invite connection.

Please come whether you’re a puppeteer or have never taken a puppetry workshop. And please come if you are interested in disability culture and connection.
