Description

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

If yes - this Festive Road event is for you!

We are holding a FREE one day Seminar on 23rd March 2017 at our creative space in Milton Keynes - kindly 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 non-able bodied 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.

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.

We'll also be hearing from Tanja Erhart from the amazing Candoco Dance Company.

Lunch and refreshments included.

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