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:

The Openness Project Lab
Meeting the last Monday of each month, our Lab will foster new work featuring characters with Invisible Disabilities. 

 As part of our ongoing mission to raise awareness of disabilities through theater, we are excited to provide a space for playwrights to examine disability within their work. These labs will also provide actors and directors with opportunities to collaborate on new plays and build a new community of artists. 

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
Over the course of the next year, we will be gathering stories from individuals that identify as having an invisible disability. 

​Based on these interviews, our artists will create a new piece of devised theater for our 2017-2018
