I am horizontal
You are vertical
You are the mountain
I am the valley
I am the Earth
You are the Sun
I am the shield
You are the sword
I am the wound
You are the pain
I am the night
You are God
You are the fire
I am the water
I am naked
You are in me
I am horizontal
But not every time
You are vertical
But for the time being
I am vertical
The mountain of orgasm
You are horizontal
Near me

IRINA. [Sobbing] Where? Where has everything gone? Where is it all? Oh my God, my God! I’ve forgotten everything, everything… I don’t remember what is the Italian for window or, well, for ceiling… I forget everything, every day I forget it, and life passes and will never return, and we’ll never go away to Moscow… I see that we’ll never go….

Small Matters Productions is an Edmonton-based theatre company dedicated to creating and performing original works of modern clown theatre. Drawing from our experience in the uniquely Canadian Pochinko-style of clown, we use classic theatre techniques, improvisation, and audience participation to reinvent clown for contemporary adult audiences.
“I begin with the etymology of ‘settler’ as a thing or person that settles, within the etymology of ‘settle’ as a thing or person that ‘comes to rest,’ that establishes a ‘permanent residence.’ But ‘settle’ also belongs etymologically to ‘reconcile’ or “reconciliation,’ which in turn belongs to ‘bring together’ (again), to ‘make friendly, and to make consistent.’”
Tahirah Stanley is an actor/activist in Toronto. She is also the Founder/Project Coordinator for a project called Theatre for Peace. Theatre for Peace is a project that seeks to empower youth, ages 14-18, through the performing arts (acting, singing, dancing, spoken word etc). Over the course of the past 3 months the youth worked with professional artists to develop monologues, dances, songs etc. All of the pieces were then compiled and put together to make a show; OUR STORY.
OUR STORY is a play that is written and performed by the Theatre for Peace participants. It is about their experiences with love, defeat, violence, friendship, and discovery, among many other things. Through OUR STORY you will get a glimpse into the lives of these young people through the dramatic retelling of the issues they face and the joys they find being a young person in today’s society.
Our Story will be taking place today @ 2:30pm @ 60 Rowena Drive. Check out the poster for more information.

There is a village
which sits on my shoulders
like a vulture …
Despite this
O my village
I uninvited relate with you
as you fly
within and outside of me
like a vulture
Soup Can Theatre‘s critically acclaimed show Love is a Poverty You Can Sell is returning to the stage as part of the 2012 Next Stage Festival.
The show pays tribute to the timeless music and musical influence of German composer Kurt Weill with a production that marries the bold and naked theatrical style he and writer/director Bertolt Brecht pioneered with the bravado of traditional musical theatre – all with the ambiance of a 1920’s Berlin cabaret program.
Readings in the Rough Play reading Series presented by Fairly Lucid Productions invites the audience to play a part in the dramaturgical process of writing a script. In an open discussion the audience helps to form what the play can become in this important stage of first public readings.
The playwright will present a few questions to you prior to the reading. Once you watch, you can then provide feedback for the playwright that will assist in their next stage of redrafting. The series will feature a new play every two months from around the world.
“In creating the man that we want to be, there is not a single one of our acts which does not at the same time create an image of man as we think he ought to be. To choose to be this or that is to affirm at the same time the value of what we choose, because we can never choose evil.”
~ Jean-Paul Sartre, from the 1945 lecture “Existentialism Is a Humanism”.
“After the years and years of weaker and waterier imitations, we now find ourselves rejecting the very notion of a holy stage. It is not the fault of the holy that it has become a middle-class weapon to keep the children good.”
