A creative workshop open to all adults, held at Eastbourne Blind Society

Join us for an afternoon workshop led by Hawaii-born, London-based artist Stacy Makishi.

This forms part of Stacy’s participatory project Walking Each Other Home, which explores where and how we gather, how ritual can heal and transform, and how we might build creative communities of connection; connection to ourselves, to each other, and to inspiration and mystery. For the past two years, Stacy has been exploring this through workshops and performances in the UK and beyond.

The workshop will focus on ‘creative homesickness’ and is oriented towards adults who feel far away from their creativity, and/or would like time to focus in a supportive and warm environment. It’s for anyone who is curious about developing their own creativity and there is no requirement to have an existing artistic practice though artists are also very welcome.

Stacy will offer a range of creative and playful tasks – from writing to simple physical tasks to image-making – designed to support you in your own creativity. These will draw on her 40-year experience of making and teaching live art, her belief in art’s transformative power and her spirited commitment to put more ‘aloha’ into the world.

Access:

Eastbourne Blind Society has step-free access from street to building and throughout the building. There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet.

This is a relaxed workshop where you're free to come and go, take breaks, sit or move around, and make noise as needed.

Please feel welcome to get in touch to discuss specific access requirements.

This event is part of LIVE EDITIONS, a new programme of movement, sound and performance in Eastbourne and the South Downs, led by Nikki Tomlinson and supported by Arts Council England.
