JUMBLIES: Micro-grant Updates!

A little update from a Toronto Arts Council – Platform A micro-grants:

Marissa Zinni has begun exploring physical theatre actions and narratives with the Arts4All Players. Workshops have focused on partnered improvisational movement and the effect that specificity and awareness of story detail have on the expressivity of the performer.

Katherine’s two community photo sessions with the Arts4All Players put film and digital cameras into their hands and saw them photograph their neighbourhood, as they see it. Participants also got an introduction to event photography with performance rehearsal photo sessions. The Players are looking forward to documenting Arts4All’s actual upcoming event on June 15th!

JUMBLIES: Micro-grant Update

An update from Kirstine on her Toronto Arts Council – Platform A Micro-grant:

“My project is focused on developing shadowpuppetry skills and techniques to use in performance as well as in the context of arts facilitation. I have led workshops at Alpha Alternative and Jumblies Studio, and have encouraged and explores the use of three dimensional found organic materials from our landscape – the lakeshore – to create puppets, in addition to the use of the more typical two dimensional paper cut method of shadow puppetry. I am looking forward to bringing together the puppets and storylines created in the workshops for an interactive exhibition at the A Show.”
