My Paradise is… A Creativity Session with Mette Tommerup

“My paradise is…”

A Paradise-inspired fantasy experience conceived by Mette Tommerup, this participatory performance plays at being washed ashore on a deserted island after a shipwreck and forced to create one’s own paradise from scratch. “My Paradise is…” lets children create clothing from palm fronds and perform in a fashion show. This piece examines notions of paradise from a child’s perspective and encourages the entire family to make their own paradise.

Please join us for this all ages creativity session as part of Paradise Summit Miami, a group exhibition and summit at Emerson Dorsch.
