Upcoming Events:
Playing with Partnerships: Process Over Product in Community Collaboration
​
7:15pm - 8:30pm Central / 8:15pm - 9:30pm Eastern
Facilitated by Hannah E Johnson
​
How can community partnerships be both work and play? Engage in an interactive conversation about the art of collaboration inspired by an exploration of “play personalities” (Dr. Stuart Brown). Discover your own play personality and consider the ways in which your playful nature might inform past, present, and future partnerships. This workshop will affirm that fostering and facilitating reciprocity in partnerships is nothing short of hard work, while honoring that working hard and playing hard go hand in hand.
​
Who Should Attend?
​
Kerfuffle's professional development workshops are geared for early childhood educators, teaching artists, and theatre and dance for the very young practitioners!
This PD workshop might be best enjoyed by artists interested in developing their own work for the first time; artists who have been developing their own work and want to learn new tools or techniques; early childhood teaching artists; artists who self-produce or are interested in self producing; emerging theatre producers, directors, playwrights, devisers, and artists, and anyone interested in the greater field of theatre and dance for the very young. ​
