| GREENHOUSE THEATRE |
We are an ecosystem of nomadic and diasporic scarborough-rooted artists engaging the arts to catalyze legacies of regenerative consciousness and creative resilience
We engage with living arts as embodied practices of ritual, storytelling, and rites of passage in this time of deep social and ecological transformation
We facilitate residencies that serve as rites of passage in service of proliferating artists’ highest creative potential, asking them to reflect on:
1. What is the relationship between the Arts, ecological stewardship and decolonization?
2. How can we re-center our artistic processes to more deeply engage with and honour the natural world, the indigenous histories of the lands with whom we-create, and our own unique ancestral creation stories?
3. How can the residency serve as a rite of passage that supports us to:
(a) honour and respectfully steward ancestral wisdoms as a contribution to decolonization and ecological resilience
(b) be initiated into our highest creative potential as artists in service of communal, earth-based healing in this time of deep social and ecological transformation?
These residenceies support research, creation, innovation, knowledge-stewardship, experimentation, and collaboration between emerging and established artists locally and across borders
