Creative Time

The next few months will be dedicated to finishing ‘A Faery Cat Tale’, the next draft of ‘The Marvel of His Days’ and a number of photo images.

The Marvel of His Days

maya — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 02:19:40 +0000

‘The Marvel of His Days’ is a play in development about poet John C. Walker who was mute and quadriplegic but was able to invent a unique method of communication. A sister’s deep relationship, respect and celebration.

Chapter One: During Culture Days 2011, the first beginning explorations of ‘The Marvel of His Days’ were explored and a 10 minute physical piece presented with Peggy Coffey directing, guiding and inspiring.

Chapter Two: during SpringWorks 2012 a 55 minute staged reading was performed at Factory163 to an enthusiastic audience. Peggy Coffey director extraordinaire.

Chapter Three: For Culture Days 2012, I gave a selected reading of some of John’s adult poetry which followed an emotional and creative journey in John’s words and thoughts.

Chapter Four: A possible collaboration with a Toronto theatre – stay tuned.

The Marvel of His Days

FRANCE!!! Mais Oui!

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:47:09 +0000

Just back from a whirlwind visit to France with my mother, Jean. Paris, Lyon, Arles etc. Just a visual joy to see so much art on display in everyday life – makes North American cityscapes look so boring. Sculpture and great graphics and charm abound. Lyon is an amazing pedestrian city – cars are pushed to the side not people. Paris has some great bike lanes. Watch here for images from my lens, heart and mind as I sort through my exciting new collection of visual work. Mais Oui!

Photo is called ‘Staircase to Starry Night’ from The Yellow Cafe in Arles.
