Cardboard Mutations: A multigenerational puppetry workshop
“We cannot create what we cannot imagine” says Lucille Clifton. Eli Nixon adds, “through creation what we imagine can be revealed.” Come create puppets with us as we imagine more just futures.
HIVES is hosting a hands-on workshop of puppet-making and conversation on the future in an all-ages workshop on April 6. In this workshop, we’ll be using recycled materials to create non-representative puppets as a way to envision queer/crip futures that make space for a variety of ways of being.
The HIVES Research Workshop and Speaker series invites you to be a part of imagining disability in the future with puppets! Join transqueer puppeteer Eli Nixon as they help us create and mutate our dreams. On April 6, we are gathering a community of all ages to make puppets from 10 AM to 12 PM, eat free lunch, and then figure out how to merge and move these puppets from 1 PM to 3PM.
Lunch will be provided for registrants thanks to the Creativity in the Time of COVID-19 Mellon Just Futures Grant. Materials for the workshop were provided generously by the MSU Recycling Center.
Details:
Saturday, April 6
10 AM – 12 PM & 1 PM – 3 PM ET
UU Church of Greater Lansing
5509 S Pennsylvania Ave, Lansing, MI 48823
