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 needed and sharing to the whole group is always optional.
Please note the event capacity for this event is 20 participants and spots are offered on a first come, first serve basis. You will receive an email confirming your place in the workshop or letting you know you are on the wait list if over 20 people register Nov. 11th and again on Nov. 13th.
When: Friday, November 15th 3-5pm
In-person
Room 166, UIC Disability, Health and Social Policy Building: 1640 W. Roosevelt Road; Chicago, IL 60608
