[Past Event]Convent Kids Workshop: Peek-A-Butoh

Children aged 3 – 12 and their accompanying adults are invited to step inside the playful and imaginative practice of Japanese Butoh in this fun, family-friendly workshop.

Participants will create fun  art installations using masks, collage and everyday objects—diving into a world of transformation and shape-shifting, unleashing their kooky and spooky inner creatures inside and around the grounds of the Convent.

Workshop duration: 50 minutes

Presented by  Convent Kids and ButohOUT! as part of New Ab/Normal 2021
