SUMMARY:Moving A Forest
DESCRIPTION:What is your relationship to the forest? Is it a place to walk and calm your spirit? An endless source of paper? Do the trees warm your fireplace? What does it mean for the forest to be your backyard\, your neighbour\, your friend? \nMoving A Forest is an interactive game-theatre about the forests. It explores themes of sustainable balance and ‘resource’ management amid the climate crisis. Spanning conversations from South Korea and Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia)\, this interactive experience asks us to reimagine our relationship with the Wabanaki Forest. \nPay What You Can (PWYC) cash or e-transfer at the venue:\nAll proceeds will go to Save Our Old Forests and Blomidon Naturalists Society\, in support of their proposed new wilderness areas: Goldsmith Lake (Annapolis County) and Chain Lakes (Kings County). \nFor more information contact bloomingludus@gmail.com or visit www.bloomingludus.com \nBooking Link: https://forms.gle/PNsqbMxwLYwbQZVr5 \nNotes:\nThis performance asks audience members to interact and participate in the story\, always in a manner within their comfort level. \nRecommended for Ages 10+ \n
