FROM THE GROUND UP (2020)

Director & Facilitator

November 2020

The third year ensemble uses “renovation” as a jumping off point for their online 2020 Devised Project. A collage of images, ideas, music, and creation, this piece has been created entirely online and will be performed LIVE on zoom. Don’t miss this theatrical experiment into the great beyond of cyberspace. All show dates were performed live over Zoom.

For the second time, I had the great pleasure of facilitating a devised creation process with the third year students in the University of Toronto Mississauga/Sheridan College combined Theatre and Performance Studies program. These students were incredibly innovative in their work, and with a lot of exploration, we were able to create a responsive digital work about renovation.
