Add Friend @ the Hamilton Fringe

Over the last couple months, I’ve been working closely with Andrew Cromwell to hash out the theory, or, rather, the wonder that inspires our new show, Add Friend. The concept for this piece originated from the everyday balance (or lack of balance) between our online and offline lives. We question how we are defining, and being defined by what we put online and how easy it is to access everything about anything at all times.

Add Friend has been developed over the internet, and now it is ready to be presented to you as part of the Gallery Mini-Series at the 2014 Hamilton Fringe Festival.

Come join us at Hamilton Artists Inc., 155 James Street North

[insert “Off the Wall” pun here]

Tomorrow I’ll be heading to the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga to meet a handful of exciting artists (pictured below). Together, we’ll push our brains, our bodies and the architecture around us to create something beautifully ephemeral on Canada Day. I’m curious to see what will happen as many of the details, including the artists’ bios, have been kept secret, but I do know, from working with Frog in Hand before, that whatever it is will be energetic and dynamic. Swing by on Canada Day to see what we’ve made!

Lots of things are happening here at a field of crowns.

Outside of the a field of crowns label, I’m currently rehearsing three shows with three amazing companies (Foo Productions, Frog in Hand and Shakespeare BASH’d). With a field of crowns, I’m also in the early creative stages of a new show, Add Friend, co-created with artist Andrew Cromwell. Add Friend will premiere as a Gallery play for the 2014 Hamilton Fringe Festival.

After this, I’m going to be bring a field of crowns to the next level. What does that mean? I’ll have more about that soon.

Until then, I hope to see you on stage!
