Your process is showing: Festival of Ideas and Creation
The Proust Project – Click to Enlarge
by Shira Leuchter
Canadian Stage’s Festival of Ideas and Creation began on Monday, and I’ve been able to observe two very different processes that are part of the New Creations section of the Festival.

There are free events almost every day until May 21st, and it’s a great way to see some really innovative work-in-progress.
As a response to the processes that I observed, I made pieces that reflect what I saw, but that share many common materials.
The Proust Project: modelling clay, acrylic paint, twine.
Peter Fechter: modelling clay, acrylic paint, wood dowel.

Both of these pieces – and others – will be exhibited in the lobby of the Berkeley Street Theatre as of Sunday if you would like to see them in person.
