The hundreds of people involved in this monumental undertaking have been inspired to explore their creative sides, making ceramic vessels,
music and movement inspired by water, and decorating fabric with dyeing
and printing techniques.
More than 70 people have contributed water words in as many
languages. Now a group of performers is putting everything together in
rehearsals to present to Shuswap residents and visitors, an
unforgettable performance celebrating water in all its forms –- its
beauty, its variety, its texture, its sparkle, and its sounds.
The creative team has been enhanced by the participation of special
guest artist, Jimmy Ouma Okello from Kenya, and Hannah Morrow and Jesse Orr, two interns from Concordia University in Montreal.
The production is being directed by Varrick Grimes from Stratford, Ontario and Runaway Moon’s artistic director, Cathy Stubington,
music director Murray MacDonald and movement and dance director Kristi
Christian.
With a pool of talent this wide and deep, the results are sure to be
as refreshing as a cold drink on a very hot day.
