I'm very excited to share brand-new theatre work at the Artesian! During the past few years of my variety show, Burnt Sienna, this new project was bubbling up as I dug deeper into questions about my role as an artist here, my relationships to people and land. I'm blown away by the generosity of the guest artists: some who have been involved throughout, some who will perform with me!
Misty Wensel, Krystle Pederson, Melanie Monique Rose, Jayda Delorme, Orion Paradis, Tori Yuzik, Shana Pasapa, Zoë & Iris James AND our PM, production matriarch, Chasity Delorme
3 creation cycles of research, improv, interviews, story-sharing, music, felting, dance, design were thrown into the crucible of this pandemic... What comes out of the fire?
A show humbly trying, reflecting and leaving space for asking,
"In this present moment, what are we actually acknowledging?"
A performance bringing honesty, humour, beauty, dance and music to this question.
