Nadia Korths offers a playful, improvised, inclusive, and experimental approach to styrofoam relief handprinting and prose writing. Her students, no matter their age and/or disability, have celebrated the act of recycling, the act of sensuous touch, the act of sharing tools, the ritual of shared storytelling, of physical exercise, of giving and receiving feedback to their colorful works displayed in gallery like setting, and the act of presenting to community. They forge deeper and new relationships with each other while recentering themselves in the joyful experience of full blown creativity.
