to Sea in a Sieve: Jumblies Theatre comes to Montreal

What a special treat it was to have taken a workshop taught by Ruth Howard of Jumblies Theatre . Concordia theatre students were introduced to creating art collaboratively based on our own life experiences. These were created with pastels and passed onward to our classmates, hence becoming an artful team effort . With our stories colourfully illustrated it was time to build the script.

Given some time to organize ourselves and given a set of prepared questions we began the process of interviewing our classmates. Equipped with our new scripts we then formed groups or worked alone on our stories to present.

As the Concordia weekend was coming to a close we all presented our pieces authentically and creatively. Taking the designated time, patiently in exploring and listening to each other tell our stories was an especially favorite part of mine in the weekend's Jumblies Theatre workshop.
