Registration IS NOW OPEN for our 2020 Inclusive theatre festival on November 14th-15th!
Seesaw Theatre's Fifth Annual Inclusive Theatre Festival is a weekend-long virtual conference celebrating the strides being made in inclusive and accessible theatre. This event aims to bring together theatre artists and practitioners from across the country, giving us all the chance to learn about the amazing work being done and how we can also improve our own work while supporting marginalized communities. This event is intended not only for theatre artists (students and professionals alike), but also for the disability community and their families, educators working with disabled individuals, and truly anyone interested in this ever-expanding and heart-warming field of inclusive theatre. This year's presenters include Professor Roger Ideishi from George Washington University, Mydera Robinson from Theatre Horizon, Special Gifts Theatre, Orion Couling from EDGE of Orion, and more! Join us for a specific presentation or the whole event, synchronously or asynchronously. We look forward to seeing you there!
For more information or if you have questions about the event: contact our Conference & Engagement Director, Zach Forbes, at inclusivetheatrefestival@gmail.com.
Special thanks to:
This occupied land called the Chicago area—on which Northwestern University sits—is located on the ancestral homelands of the people of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk nations. It was also a site of trade, travel, gathering, and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes and is still home to over 100,000 tribal members in the state of Illinois. Acknowledging the generations of pain inflicted upon the original peoples of this land, Seesaw Theatre strives to support autistic and otherwise disabled Native Americans, who continue to be leaders for justice in our community today.
