Imagination is Tangible

Storytelling. Magical Realism. About interpreting the world around us as adults with childish minds. Focusing mostly on the element of recreating our life and choosing to reconstruct it and how in doing so this affects our actual life.

Evan Harkai
Carpenter with a love of storytelling. Evan’s work has been performed in his head for decades. His writing is a constant evolutionary exploration to understand his childhood psyche. As a mask maker (www.maskmakerto.com) he’ll be creating masks for Outside The March’s production of Mr. Burns. Evan recently directed The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine at the Sidemart Theatrical Grocery (Off the Grid & Coffeehouse Theatre).

Evan will be performing Imagination is Tangible at Seasonal Activities, v.ii this Friday at hub14.

Performer Profile: Half Second Echo

dark monk

Dark Monk, Deep Church follows the dynamic and secretive lives of three half-crow/half-man monks undertaking a mysterious ritual. The piece opens up at the brink of these monks’ spiritual ritual as they lay the groundwork for the final ceremony.

Half Second Echo is a Toronto based contemporary dance collective that serves as a platform for the creative exploration of the moving body. Since its creation in 2013 Half Second Echo has had the opportunity to collaborate with Forcier Stage Works, Applebox Film Company, Intergalactic Arts Collective, Great Moving Dancers/Good Morning Dance, Jesse Dell, Irvin Chow, Dave Wilson and the McMaster Dance Company, as well as present works in DanceOntario Weekend and both the Toronto and Hamilton Fringe Festivals. HSE is ecstatic to be the house troupe for the Body Brake series curated by Anandam Dancetheatre and presented by Theatre Passe Muraille.
