Hello DramaWay Families and Participants,
We hope this e-mail finds you well and enjoying the long weekend!
As always, we like to share information often about similiar projects to ours, and we thought we’d bring to your attention a new and upcoming show by Judith Thompson called “Borne” which will hit the stages on July 1st. This show follows the story of individuals with spinal chord injuries who use mobility devices. Many of us had the opportunity to see several of Judith’s production and one of our favourite’s was her recent production of “Rare” last year, which featured 5 of our DramaWay alumni! Exciting to see our actors hit the stage!
This new show “Borne” is looking for stage hands and volunteers of all abilities! If you would be interested feel free to contact Mica White at mica@uoguelph.ca. In addition to volunteers, “Borne” is also accepting any willing monetary donations to help run a smooth and professional production. We know the many costs involved so we can appreciate their efforts.
Judith, her full production team, as well as the actors do a stellar job of regaining and retelling narratives of the the community in ways which many of us may have never experienced. Her work and actors are intimate and passionate about their stories and their cause, and thus give the community new meanings and new perspectives on individuals of varying abilities. Our very own Brooke Banning is now also currently doing an upcoming project which she hopes will garnish attention and support. We wish her all the best in this.
We encourage our DramaWay performers to get involved as we know that they’ll continue to stay dedicated to remaining with our DramaWay family despite other pursuits.
We too are extremely proud of our upcoming showcases and hope to have as many out to see our work as possible!
