MAY 2 & 3<\/strong>
\nTHIRD EYE LOOMING<\/strong>
\nDevised and directed by Ed Roy in collaboration with Workman Artists
\nA journey into the heart of madness\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Third Eye Looming is multi-disciplinary theatre piece devised and directed by Ed Roy in collaboration with Workman Arts\u2019 artists. Combining imagistic theatre, movement, dance, music, text, and multi-media, Third Eye Looming delves into the mind of a man struggling to piece together the shards of his fragmented life after the onset of mental illness. Third Eye Looming is ultimately a composite of all of the collective artists\u2019 shared experiences with mental illness distilled into the story of one individual. This distillation reveals the universality of every person dealing with a mental illness and their desire and struggle to reclaim their lives. Challenging, dark, and humorous Third Eye Looming explores the precarious nature of the human psyche.<\/p>\n

Workman Arts (WA) is the longest-running multidisciplinary arts and mental health organizations in North America. WA facilitates aspiring, emerging and established artists with mental illness and addiction issues to develop and refine their art form through its arts training programs, public performance\/exhibit opportunities and partnering with other art organizations. As well, WA promotes a greater public understanding of mental illness and addiction through the creation, presentation and discussion of artistic media. WA is a proud partner of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.\u00a0More info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

May 9 & 10<\/strong><\/span>
\nRUFF<\/strong>
\nA Peggy Shaw solo performance, directed by Lois Weaver<\/p>\n

After suffering a stroke in 2011, Peggy Shaw\u2019s entire world had to be rebuilt from the bruised, but surprising pieces. RUFF exposes the host of crooners, lounge singers, movie stars, rock and roll bands and eccentric family members who once effortlessly melded to form Shaw\u2019s seductive, captivating personality. Guided by longtime collaborator Lois Weaver, Shaw throws off the stigma of age and embraces the joy\u2014and necessity\u2014of creating new work, post-stroke. Like a skillful striptease, Shaw unashamedly exposes the emotional and technological accommodations she now requires to perform, and in so doing, offers a rare glimpse at the art in ageing and infirmity. RUFF is a tribute to those who have kept Shaw company these past 68 years, a lament for the absence of those who disappeared into the dark holes left behind by the stroke, and a celebration that her brain is still able to fill the blank green-screens with new insights to share with her favorite confidants \u2013 the audience.\u00a0Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nPHARMAKON:\u00a0A Performance by\u00a0Les Productions des pieds des mains.<\/strong>
\nWhere do we draw the line between normal and abnormal? Under the direction of award-winning avant garde choreographer Menka Nagrani, this dynamic Montreal-based dance-theatre company dives headfirst into one of the most controversial issues of our time. An explosion of dance, theatre, poetry and stop-motion animation, Pharmakon asks, \u201cWhat is the right dose for the right emotions, so we aren\u2019t\u2019 too afraid, so we smile just enough, so we don\u2019t cry too much\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Les Productions des pieds des mains brings \u201cconventional\u201d artists together with artists with intellectual disabilities to engage with and embody these reflections.\u00a0Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n
