About the workshop:

As disabled performers, we rely on our mobility aids; they are functional, practical, and essential. But are they beautiful? Why can’t they spark excitement just like that favorite piece of clothing? You know the one. It makes you smile just thinking about it. It highlights the very best parts of YOU.

This workshop isn’t just about getting your mobility aids stage-ready, it’s about customizing them to bring you joy. M’Lady Rae will teach participants the process of applying rhinestones to non-traditional surfaces, specifically mobility aids. Instruction will include design considerations for on and off-stage, safety, surface prep, product recommendations, and application tips.
