The Dream Weaver's Workshop project explored how to create a fun and creative space for kids.
Originally planned as an in-person activity, it shifted online due to COVID-19. Over 16 weeks, I led this project, working with children who attended Vivistop's creative space online and in person (when safe) to learn about their hopes and ideas for this space. This project focused on developing a proposal for a space initially intended to be conducted in person, but the process shifted to online to ensure safety and continuity. Over 16 weeks, I facilitated this solo project, working closely with children both in person and online to understand their needs and aspirations for the Vivistop space.
The outcome of this project was the mix of a praxinoscope and a music box, transforming the space into an entertaining yet creative environment. The final work was presented via Zoom, ensuring the project remained connected and collaborative.

Project Process
1. Site Recognition and Contextual Understanding: As practitioners, we explored the location and walked around to understand the context and the environment.
2. Engagement with Vivistop Children: We interacted with the children who attended Vivistop, learning about their activities and experiences.
3. Gathering Insights: We inquired about and listened to the children's preferences and ideas to understand what they would like to have or do in the space.
The final work was presented via Zoom, ensuring the project remained connected and collaborative.
