The Memory Project Workshop/Residency In Person,Virtual

The Memory Project is a hands-on activity based workshop catering specifically to older adults in which visual arts, theater and puppetry are used as a medium for personal storytelling. Programs, including Pop-Up and Accordion Book Making, Shadow Puppetry, Life Scroll, Table Top Puppets and more are tailored specifically for the adult learners at each senior center. Collaborative learning is integral to each program, providing opportunities for social engagement as students discuss their process of artmaking. Each project is based on “a sense of play” to encourage exploration, discovery and experimentation. Synchronous as well as additional asynchronous learning allows for artmaking skills to build. All workshops are facilitated by FTH teaching artists Karen Oughtred and Spica Wobbe.
