An immersive movement-based, creative experience for people with disabilities by Sarah-Vyne Vassallo and Collaborators.
Uplifting and joyful workshop
Benny is a seal that lives on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. He visits occasionally and perches regally, taking up all the space he wants, basking in the adoration of people taking photos. This immersive workshop created by professional artists with disability takes participants on an imaginative journey - through a series of experiences that explore Benny’s admirable qualities. Over three hours participants will move and collaborate, exploring a variety of materials and objects and finally come together to participate in one magical moment.
