Overview
Sarah Gordin will develop an original sensory theatre piece, devised with a group of creative artists focused on textile and tactile theater experiences for children with multiple disabilities and their families.Touring through the spring, the multidisciplinary play will follow two puppets engaging the five senses, with a focus on textiles and touch, allowing all participants to engage in accessible ways.Through various workshops leading up to the final production children with disabilities will be involved in the creation so that the show isn't just created for the youth, but also has them as a real voice in the creation.
