Workshop description: In this workshop, participants will wage peace by celebrating their unique personalities and outlooks on life! Combining both performance and play, participants will construct costumes with a variety of materials to help shed insecurities, pain, or even stereotypes. No previous experience necessary! Participants will create small backdrops to playact in front of while wearing their hand-fashioned costumes for video documentation and photos. The workshop will conclude with participants creating a story about their image or video capture. Images and video and stories will be emailed or printed for memory making and participant take¬aways. Photos, costumes, and stories will be exhibited in the Waging Peace at the Plant Exhibition in May.
