Workshop: Art in Public Spaces with Deviani Andrea

This workshop is for people interested in site-specific performance and creation. It is structured in two parts: First, we will start with conversation about what's behind performance in public spaces (politics, history, and examples) followed by exercises focusing on improvisation, creative writing, and body awareness. Then, the class will put these ideas into action and create a short in-situ piece using the Strathcona Park as setting.

Brick Shithouse

A fenceless theatre Production, Written by Ashleigh Hicks, Directed by Sarah J Culkin Presented by Common Ground Arts: Influencers are millionaires and inflation is on the rise: so, seven best friends/worst enemies are anonymously livestreaming their fight club in a desperate attempt to keep up with rent. When their viewers start to demand more and more (and offering top-dollar to get what they want), each fighter must figure out where they draw the line. At risk of doxxing, death threats, and darkweb pervs, these seven must figure out how to band together before they tear each other apart. Brick Shithouse is a fast, funny, unforgiving new work wrestling with questions of love, need, power, and consent – and how all that changes when there’s money on the table.
