Storytelling Session with Melly Davidson: We are with. With sky, sunlight, clouds, wind. With ground, grass, trees, songbirds

Due to an incident at High Park beyond our control the session taking place on Sunday, September 22 at High Park was cancelled.

Join artist, educator, and TBA 2022 Storyteller Melly Davidson for listening and learning activities in High Park.

Occurring simultaneously with Tanya Lukin Linklater’s open rehearsal program entitled With sky, sunlight, clouds, wind. With ground, grass, trees, songbirds. (We are held), this program introduces Tanya’s new TBA-commissioned Mobile Arts Curriculum (MAC) learning resource, which explores High Park’s Black Oak Savannah. Participants will be led through prompts and activities drawn from Tanya’s MAC tool, which focuses on close looking, sensory and embodied learning, and attunement with nature to learn about Indigenous knowledge systems and stewardship of the land.
