THE BIG PEDAGOGY FESTIVAL is a four day (and one evening) Zoom gathering celebrating the one year anniversary of freeskewl. The FESTIVAL is generated from the initiations of freeskewl’s POP-UP Practice and Pedagogy/Poetic Entry series. Each of these freeskewl programs invite teaching artists and participants to consider practice, environment, current moments, and care through practical application and collective dialogue. These considerations will spill through the day and from one day into the next.

The four days will offer space for a cross-pollination of ideas through movement preparations, techniques, and collaborative inventions in the moment, open discussions, and a continual space for documentation (a running Google Doc).

THE TEACHING ARTISTS:
Hyp-ACCESS (Audre Wirtanen & Laura Tuthall), Angie Pittman, Jasmine Hearn, Angie Hauser, K.J. Holmes, Jesi Cook, Gerald Casel, Paul Singh, Netta Yerushalmy, Ishmael-Houston Jones, Anya Cloud, Kristianne Salcines, Amelia Uzategui Bonilla, Kimberly Bartosik, Julie Mayo, Christy Funsch

THE REGISTRATION:
