Disrupting the Norm: the Thomas Poulsen Symposium on Disability and Mixed Ability Performing Arts

Oct 16 2019

| REGISTER NOW |

A two-day gathering featuring co-creative workshops, critical thinking discussions, video showings and community building.

We invite you to join professional artists on Nov. 1–2, 2019 in the Reeve Theatre, as we open up conversations exploring disability art, aesthetics, creative process, education, and belonging, while celebrating individual perspectives and ensemble practices. This will be a valuable opportunity to connect with artists whose practices are inclusive and diverse, and to be creative with people who are interested in broadening their artistic spectrum.
