The Boreal Poetry Garden: MARLENE CREATES
(advance tickets required)
Marlene Creates hosts The Boreal Poetry Garden - a guided walk with site-specific readings - in the boreal forest where she lives in Portugal Cove. The forest contains bawns, crunnicks, drokes, goowiddies, tolts and tuckamores. The use of words spoken in situ reflects some of the site's particular geophysical and climatic characteristics, its plant life, wildlife and social history. Marlene Creates moved to Newfoundland, the home of her maternal ancestors, in 1985. She continues to explore the relationship between human experience and the land, and the impact they have on each other.

OUTDOOR DANCE PERFORMANCE - Arts & Culture Centre Lawn
Breathe - MAKE IT WORK ENSEMBLE
Breathe, a 30-minute outdoor movement piece, in which ten St. John's dancers explore the rhythm and spirit of breath, creating a soundscape shaped exclusively from breathing. Live breath sounds will be combined with pre-recorded audio tracks. The piece will end when the dancers literally dance themselves out of breath.
