Alice in Shadowland

I do believe Alice would have enjoyed a day in Shadowland as much as she did in Wonderland. Both have a magical ambience and all essence of time is lost.
I have recently started my student placement at Shadowland Theatre with the lovely Anne Barber and Brad Harley. It has been an amazing experience so far and I really feel connected to they work. They basically write and produce alot of their own plays and shows.

I've been helping with the backdrop for their show....

Hansel and Gretel: The Fast Food Version

This Punch and Judy-style, modern interpretation of the classic tale was created in a collaboration between Shadowland artists, young people of the Parkdale neighbourhood and adults from 6 St Joseph House. A 15 minute puppet and mask show to delight all ages with it’s irreverent humour and outrageous characters. 

Lots of doing and using what I love most : design, colour sewing, fabric! just all kinds of goodness.

Also a few other things, I will keep posting as the days go by and things progress.

Have a wander, maybe you will find a show that interests you, maybe you too will be lost in this land of creativity and imagination.

Organza or Plastic?

So I love artist that put some thought into their work and make intricate designs that grab people's attention to more important issues. This is my interpretation at least and I found these pieces to be quite interesting.

 Evian....mmmm love that water haha because really it taste better :P

Love the gallon of water and the Fiji bottles, they look so aunthentic.

 To me, these pieces represent what we see everyday as garbage and waste. I love the idea of the new designs for water bottles like the glass ones, giving the idea of recycling more. What better way to replace plastic than with fabric. These lovely pieces are hand embroidered on organza by Lauren DiCioccio

She does alot of different hand embroidered pieces, quite a handfull of work..take a wander :)
