Artsadmin Youth: Stacy Makishi

Artsadmin Youth kicks off its monthly workshop series with the artist, teacher and mentor Stacy Makishi. Artsadmin Youth is our free new creative programme for young people aged 16-19 who live in Tower Hamlets. The programme includes workshops with professional artists where young people can learn new creative ideas.

About Stacy
Stacy Makishi is a transplant from Hawaii who found paradise in Dalston, East London. Like a bonsai plant, Stacy is small but old. She has been making art for over 30 years.

A cross-fertilisation of theatre, comedy, film and visual art, her work is as complex as it is accessible; humorous as it is challenging; visual as it is literate. It ranges across solo performances for stage, large-scale outdoor participatory projects and intimate one-to-ones. Also a teacher, director and mentor in international demand, Stacy believes in art’s transformative power and strives to share her creative process with others in order to put more aloha into the world.
