SUMMARY:deCRIPtion presents: Clock Stammer: A Tactile–Acoustic Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:deCRIPtion is a program done in partnership between Bodies of Work and Access Living that offers monthly poetry and storytelling workshops built by and with disability in mind both in-person and virtually. \nClock Stammer: A Tactile-Acoustic Poetry Workshop (in-person)\n“Feel the poem\, hear time as it crips- tactile and acoustic storytelling for every bodymind.” \nWhat does time feel like when it slows down\, speeds up\, or moves in unexpected ways? Clock Stammer is a hands-on poetry workshop where we use touch\, sound\, and everyday materials to explore how our bodies and minds experience time differently\, shaped by our disability\, mental health\, or daily life in general. Together\, we’ll make tactile “clocks” or mosaics that map our moods\, energy\, and daily rhythms. Using simple materials like fabric\, foil\, or string\, we’ll create and share poetic pieces that can be touched\, heard\, and felt. Open to everyone; no prior art or poetry experience needed. \nIn addition to kinds of access listed in our event tags\, deCRIPtion trains and works with Access Doulas and fosters a space of interdependence. If you need assistance writing\, reading\, speaking\, or with other aspects of a workshop\, there will be someone who will do their best to assist you. During the registration process\, please let us know what other access needs or barriers you have and we will do our best to ensure you are able to come be fully in community with us. We routinely create image descriptions\, larger font materials\, or other access tools when requested with enough notice and where appropriate to the workshop. \nRegistration and more information at the link below: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPt17MPPRmHB87IvOvhBvd85zob4yGA5ZI5Ouoxj9e9mUjxw/viewform?usp=header
