Be Heard
Be Heard was a unique, six-day arts-based community workshop for adults who struggle with verbal communication, including non-verbal adults, and those who use Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC). Facilitated by guest artists Catherine Lee and Johnny Trinh, our talented group of storytellers participated in:
- Creative, fun theatre exercises
- Physical and vocal exploration and expression – sounding and moving through space
- Working from one’s own, innate creativity
- Relationship-building with others and the surrounding environment
- Improvisation and storytelling
Be Heard ran six afternoons (Dec 4–13, 2018) at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre.
