İdans06, the contemporary dance festival, has kicked off in İstanbul and will run from September 2012-May 2013.  As a part of this, İKEDi, a social creativity project, is touring in different parts of İstanbul offering free puppet making workshops in various locations throughout the city, open to participants who are 2 to 102.  The theme of the project is “we are all İstanbulites” and focuses on the animals we share this space with movement and music.  The mascots are several large cats that you might have already seen on the roads around Tuzla and Pendik last weekend.  For locations and other information visit İKEDi’s website.  Alternatively you can read the press clipping here.
