Registration: ej.uz/pinokio-darbnica

On August 12 at 14.00 (EEST / Latvian time) join lead artist Ivor MacAskill (he/they) and Company Manager, An* Neely (they/them) for a deep dive into the ways they embed accessibility whilst making and touring The Making of Pinocchio.

Gain insights into how considering and celebrating access can influence and improve touring models, audience experience and create more ambitious, exciting work!

This online talk will be useful for artists, producers and presenters who want to learn more about integrating accessibility within your creative projects, and what support could look like for disabled artists and audiences.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss at the end of the talk.

The performance The Making of Pinocchio will be part of the International Festival of Contemporary Theatre, Homo Novus, on September 3 and 4 at 20.30 at the Latvian Academy of Culture Small hall, Miera iela 58a.

Cade & MacAskill are Rosana Cade (they/them) and Ivor MacAskill (he/him): renowned queer artists and facilitators based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work, together and individually, straddles the worlds of experimental contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site specific, and socially engaged practices. Their collaboration is born from a shared love of subversive humour, experimentation with persona and text, playful theatricality, and the joy they find in improvising together. They also share a passion for LGBTQIA+ rights and culture. They create strange, rich aesthetic worlds on stage, with unique sonic elements embedded into their work due to ongoing collaboration with sound artist and designer Yas Clarke.
