Sebastienne Mundheim Workshop Series: Puttin’ it Together (3 of 3)

Join us for a workshop with artist-in-residence Sebastienne Mundheim, an interdisciplinary performance maker, to help create a new performance inspired by the story of social activist, self-taught engineer, and ark-builder Kea Tawana. Sebastienne will introduce the life and work of Kea, and invite you and others into her creation process.

You’re invited to join us as Mundheim experiments with integrating text, movement, and objects. Participants will learn a little about Kea Tawana, meet people, do physical warm-ups, and experiment with performing objects and puppets.

We are offering six two-hour sessions, join us for all or just one.

• Wednesday, Oct. 26, 3 to 5 PM and 6 to 8 PM
• Thursday, Oct. 27, 3 to 5 PM and 6 to 8 PM

The workshop takes place at ArtYard Workshop, 62A Trenton Ave., Frenchtown.

About this workshop series

This workshop is the final of a three-part interdisciplinary workshop intensive with ArtYard artist-in-residence Sebastienne Mundheim, who is creating a new performance inspired by the story of social activist, self-taught engineer, and ark-builder Kea Tawana.  Sebastienne will introduce the life and work of Kea Tawana, and invite you and others into her creation process. Workshop intensives include prompt-based writing exercises and discussion, sculpture, costume, puppet, materials-based environment-building, and movement. We will explore storytelling methods, history, materials, and movement and contribute to the creation of the May 2023 performance celebrating the life and work of Kea Tawana.  From the content generated in these workshops, we will create movement tableaus (or living pictures) and work with light, shadow, and sound discovering methods, materials, and meaning. These workshops are being offered to explore performance content, learn, build community, and have fun. Stay tuned for additional workshops in the spring.
