Elegant Animal, part of the Provocation Series at the 2020 IGNITE! Festival

Amidst the largest collective crisis many of us have ever faced, how do we care for ourselves in honest and compassionate ways in order to minimize pain, and to heal? Elegant Animal is a socially distanced self-care creation from In Arms Theatre, taking place in the audience member’s own home, in their own time.

بالعكس / The Opposite

Between November 4, 2015 and February 29, 2016, Canada resettled more than 25,000 Syrian refugees, following the outbreak of civil war. But what if war arrived much closer to home? What if Calgary became a warzone, and we were all forced to flee our homes and become refugees?

For Love Sake, part of the Provocation Series at the 2019 IGNITE! Festival

For Love Sake stems from Sarah's memory and PTSD of some childhood trauma and abuse that she experienced; her acknowledgement of them; and the road to healing from them. She explores their effect on her psyche and her perception of reality, along with the evolving relationship with her family from the beginning to this point in her life.

100 Years in the (Un)Making, part of the Provocation Series at the 2019 IGNITE! Festival

Around 100 years ago, Nellie McClung joined other Manitoban Women in a Mock Parliament asking the question “should men vote?" Most Albertans and other Canadians know Nellie McClung from after she moved to Alberta and became one of the “famous 5”, the women who challenged the idea that women were not considered persons under the law. Having experienced a different side of this legacy, a young Manitoban questions the common narrative and wonders why the rights of so many marginalized women are still sacrificed in order to promote it.
