Switching Queen(s) Lab 2021

Switching Queen(s) is a roving inter-disciplinary street performance through public spaces and liminal landscapes within Parkdale. We will lead the audience on a journey using theatre, dance, poetry, song & sound art, shadow puppetry, video projections, procession, and ritual. Conceptually, this piece will explore visible and invisible lines that we navigate and cross in Queen West: waterways & oil pipelines underground; disappeared marginal spaces; beats & back alleys. Switching Queen(s) will trace the grids of new & old streets, changing neighborhood boundaries, race & gender peripheries, police lines, railway tracks, time, and much more.​

Production Manager: Hazel Moore

Guest artists: Brescia Nember Reid / Drawing with Knives, Leon Tsai, Ana Maria Higuera
