3 About Interact Center Since 1996, Interact s mission is to create art that challenges perceptions of disability and it is the only organization of its kind nationally or internationally a place where over 100 artists with disabilities create original theater and visual arts each and every day. In our spirit of Our Next Production at the Lab Theater Feast of Fools is a rich theatrical exploration into the role of the fool throughout history told by Interact Theater, a 40-member ensemble of actors with and without disabilities. The work launches from the medieval feast of fools the one-day-a-year when court jesters, village clowns, and other fools had free reign to speak and act out with impunity. This mini-revolution got bawdy, bold, and blasphemous, and was forbidden by the Council of Basel in Feast of Fools is conceived and directed by Interact Founder and Artistic Director, Jeanne Calvit. Nationally celebrated actor/playwright/ storyteller Kevin Kling, also an actor with disabilities, joins Feast as playwright and lead actor. radical inclusion, Interact is multicultural and intergenerational and we embrace the entire spectrum of disability labels. Our staff artists are all practicing artists with a focus on the unique abilities of every individual. Interact has opened up new horizons for artists with disabilities from whom very little may have been expected, but whose lives have now been transformed as talented, creative, contributing members of our world. Everyday, for both artists and audiences, our work expands ideas of what is possible through the transformative power of the arts in both our theater and visual arts studio.
