Canada’s Smallest Theatre (Part 2)
2011 led to the further planning, fabrication, outfitting and installation of Hendrik Scheel’s design “CANADA’S SMALLEST THEATRE” in my studio. Hendrik is superfamous in the German theatre scene so it was a great honour to work so closely together!
I sailed the Sargasso Sea!
In August 2010 I began a year long Fellowship at Toronto’s largest multidisciplinary festival, Luminato. Midway through I started to chat with the producer of Visual arts, Robert Vanderberg about doing audio description for visually impaired patrons.
