Year 1: Performing Arts at Canadian International School


Year 1: Performing Arts at Canadian International School

For the first year's program at Canadian International school, CARP will focus on the Performing Arts. Forming a bridge from performing arts to Visual Arts of the Year 2 program will be Tom Cowan with his unique film-making methodology that involves working within communities, with real stories and with extensive acting workshops.


We open the Year 1 program with Josefina Baez, director of Ay Ombe Theatre, NY. Working with Meyerhold technique and the creation of scripts using source material such as diaries, recipes, memories and lullabies, Josefina will bring her special Performance Autology to the students of CIS. She will conduct readings, dialogues and apariciones (performative actions dealing with stillness or movements) from her solo works - Dominicanish and Comrade, Bliss ain't Playing.






Emily Grey is artistic director of Trestle Theatre, St.Albans and has a long relationship with India. She works extensively with children's theatre and was previously artistic director of the Unicorn, London.
