Running February 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th, inside the bCurrent studio at Artscape Wychwood Barns (MAP), this workshop series will involve research, creative writing, acting, storytelling through the body, and creating sound through the voice and body. This program offers selected participants a unique opportunity to develop their own artistic process and creation, informed from the guidance of a Lead Artistic Facilitator. Participants will research Black Canadian historical figures and over the month of February will find ways of creating short theatrical pieces based on their learnings. The workshops will culminate in a presentation for friends and family.
