In our 2-day workshop, we share a flexible toolkit for creating inclusive theater through multiple lenses, including:

Producing/Directing: from imagination to implementation: how we get a show for our audiences going, and what we consider along the way

Writing/Composing: incorporating and celebrating neurodivergent needs and voices in worldbuilding, storytelling, language, and song

Performing: preparing to flexibly connect to audience and the moment using structure, improvisation, and sensory theater techniques

Design: building a sensory-friendly world that supports audience needs and creates space for exploration

This workshop is made possible due to the generous support of the Palma Foundation.

In A Perfect Party for Trees, we welcome our party guests to try multi-sensory activities, participatory puppetry, and collective live music in a celebration of nature, and the many ways that we see ourselves as a part of it. Guided by our friends The Beekeeper, The Bear, and Ms. Branch, we create a gentle and playful space for our audience to dig like a badger, sing like a bird, and sit quietly like a tree to become a part of the forest itself. With no wrong way to celebrate, it will be the perfect party every time.

Running time: approximately 45-60 minutes.
