ArcheDream for Humankind (ADHK):
Exploring archetypes and stereotypes in our blacklight world, this workshop will focus on developing character/creature personas based on these concepts by way of the 'Mask & Hands' dance, which is a study how this triangle of body parts creates expression and commmunication. Using the blacklight masks and gloves from the ADHK arsenal, attendees will invent new characters and bring imaginary worlds to life.
