About the workshop:
Have you ever been curious about the performing arts? Would you like to explore the emotions that lie behind being an artist and creating art? Do you want to explore new ways to share your story with the world?
The Italian Cultural Institute of Bucharest and Supereroi printre noi are inviting you to join a creative workshop led by Kelly Ardens. A professional opportunity for young neurodivergent and disabled people to discover the world of the stage in a supportive setting.
Together with Kelly, you will explore neurodivergent and disabled joy through art, whatever your chosen medium is in artistic exploration.
With Kelly, you’ll explore your art through your own personal journey and expression. We’ll tackle themes such as what it means to be, or to feel like, an artist; the emotions associated with this (focusing on joy); living and sharing within a community and what that might mean; and occupying space and time – all from the perspective of neurodivergent and disabled artists and creators, celebrating each person’s diversity and unique qualities.
You do not need any previous experience, and you do not need to be verbal or know how to write to take part in this workshop.
Kelly will guide you through the joyful process of sharing your story in whatever way feels right to you. This is a space to experiment, play, and be yourself.
