Adaptive Arts Is Thrilled to Launch The Openness Project:
 A new program that uses a theatrical lens to begin a dialogue about Invisible Disabilities 

Over the next few years, The Openness Project will take three different shapes:
Drama Therapy Workshops 
Using influences from devised and narrative theatre, participants will be encouraged to share their experience and personal alignment with their diverse identities. Over the course of each three hour workshop, we will collaboratively build a piece of theatre that explores how our identities are both personal and collective. 

Upcoming Workshops: 
New York:
July 17th from 7pm-10pm 
TBD

San Francisco:
July 30th from 6pm-9pm 
California Institute for Integral Studies 
Pop-Up Theater Workshops 
To expand this dialogue beyond our walls, we will be partnering with theatrical, cultural and educational organizations to offer Pop-Up Theater Workshops.  

​These workshops will provide organizations an opportunity to build ensemble while using theater to foster a dialogue of what it means to feel “different” or “outside."

Our in-school workshops use theater as a lens to provide teachers with the tools to  to begin a conversation in their classrooms about disabilities and differences. 

Want to host a pop-up theater workshop where you work/create? Reach out to Marielle Duke to discuss the possibilities! 
A New, Devised Theater Piece
We are gathering stories from individuals that identify as having an invisible disability. 

​Based on these interviews, it is our hope to create a future devised theater piece centering around invisible disabilities.
