PlayLaughBe Festival: building community through creative expression
PlayLaughBe is a multi-faceted fun-machine oiled by all-ages enthusiasm at multiple communal houses in legendary East Van. Fun-seekers walk from house to house, participating in playshops of their choosing at each venue.
PlayLaughBe is the creation of a small group of dedicated people in East Vancouver who are committed to bringing play into the lives of their friends and neighbours. As we get older in life, the number of lessons we’ve learned about what we shouldn’t do continues to increase until eventually we don’t find ourselves playing in life and being fully self-expressed. Funcilitators for each of the playshops help participants feel safe and comfortable to try out new types of self-expression through play. By the end of the day, participants are full of life, joy, and see new possibilities for themselves in their lives.
A Gift to the Community
Totally Free
We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
– George Bernard Shaw

Example: Alchemy of Puppetry with Funcilitator Little Woo
The Joys of Puppeteering: we will explore ways to animate inanimate objects in order to share stories and emotions. Enjoy the simple delight of breathing life into a form through play, movement, intention and sound!
