SAMPOsium: Accessibility in puppet theatre, 25.8. Helsinki
Fri 25.8. 12-3pm, Annantalo auditorium, Annankatu 30, Kamppi, Helsinki / Free entry
Friday's SAMPOsium examines the accessibility of the puppet theatre and stops to think about what the word "accessibility" means. Are the theatre facilities and the theatre performance itself accessible, on the other hand, is culture and art really accessible in Finland, and is the artist or the participant accessible to experiencing and creating art. Why is accessibility important? What kind of obstacles stand in the way of accessibility and how do we deal with them. What makes puppetry accessible or inaccessible.
The conversation takes place in two parts, coffee break in between.
The discussion will be moderated by puppet theatre artist and director Elina Lajunen. Maija Karhunen form Culture for all Service is one of the panelists. All the panelists will be announced on the festival's website sampofestival.fi.
