Mobility for Disability: in Carnival and Outdoor Arts

23rd March 2017 @ 10:30 am - 5:00 pm

Free

Are you a disabled artist? Are you a performer with mobility challenges? And are you interested in outdoor arts & carnival?

If yes - this is the event for you!

We are holding a FREE one day Seminar funded by Postcode Community Trust, thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

We welcome people with all disabilities to this very collaborative event. We particularly want to engage people with physical disabilities, not only with our own artistic activities, but with carnival & outdoor arts more generally.

The aims of the day will be to discover and uncover the inspirations, aspirations, challenges and boundaries to disabled artists and performers, within the context of carnival and outdoor arts; and see how we (Festive Road) can create structures with disability needs in mind in the future.

Our headline speaker will be Tanja Erhart from the amazing Candoco Dance Company.

There'll be opportunities for discussion and sharing ideas; demonstrations, including a puppetry and performance taster led by Puppeteer, Jo Munton; as well as bicycle-driven carnival design sessions led by Festive Road.

Lunch and refreshments included.

There are limited places so please book your place soon to avoid disappointment!
