@awwe.network Artists Working With Environment is a great new international initiative bringing artists of many different disciplines together for dialogues around arts and the environment. I'm happy to be hosting dialogue #3 on Monday, April 27.

From the event listing:
A little background on Sara: She is a multidisciplinary artist from Ktaqmkuk/Newfoundland, currently based in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. Her work bridges writing, theatre, clown and puppetry. She has written, co-written or co-created fifteen works for theatre to date, as well as the award-winning novels Skin Room and DUKE, published by Pedlar Press. She ran the feminist theatre company She Said Yes! from 2002-2016 and co-founded the Women’s Work Festival with White Rooster Theatre and RCA Theatre. Sara has taught Clown through Mask and Neutral Mask, and designed puppets for several theatre companies as well as her own puppet film, Hungry Little Shadow.

In her artist talk, Sara will share how her multidisciplinary practice has been informed by engagement with the natural environment. She’ll give a tour of The Old Stump, @theoldstump her solo travelling puppet theatre built to showcase very short plays inspired by the forest ecosystem, which is set to debut soon. She’ll also facilitate exercises to give a quick taste of the mask and clown practice that informs all of her work. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice embodying a 'neutral mask state' without using actual masks, work with imagery from nature inside the body, and do a free-writing exercise that Sara uses to begin nearly every creative project.

*Note: Participants can move as little or as much as preferred during the exercises. It will be helpful to have markers or pens and a large sheet of paper on hand, (or to tape several sheets of paper together in advance, to create a bigger surface to work with).

12-1:30pm Eastern Time, 9-10:30 AM Pacific Time (PT), 1:30-3 PM Newfoundland Time (NT) etc!
