As the winter slips away and springtime approaches…

...we are eagerly planning the next stages of our new creative endeavors! As usual, we're celebrating the natural world and bringing our audiences out of doors to participate in two different projects in Toronto and Norfolk County.

Upcoming Projects

Watercolours

Here at the studio, we have been busily working on a new project that we are very excited to tell you about! Over the next two years, we will be building towards our Watercolors performance, honoring and celebrating the rich history of the Toronto Islands. We want to tell the stories of the Islands as a continuing source of inspiration and creativity, past present and future. Over the next several months, we will be hosting workshops and staging small shows around this project. Check back soon for information on how to get involved!

Spirit Walk

Over the summer of 2013, we will be working with Nature's Calling Environmental Education in Norfolk County on a new show in a local conservation area. Guided by performers and a series of vignettes along the way, audience members will embark on a theatrical and participatory journey through the St Williams Forest Trail. We are very much looking forward to working with community members of Norfolk County again this summer following the huge success of Lion on the Lake!

Mummer's Play

The mummer's play of 2012 was the highlight of our holiday season! Thank you to all of the youth and parents who helped make it such a success. We performed at the Kith & Kin Holiday Wassail,  Red Pepper Spectacle Arts' Winter Solstice celebration in Kensington Market, and the Annual Island Wassail. You can check out a video of the performance here.
