✨Smallest Circles ✨ Creative Producer Azul hosted Smallest Circles, a free flow creative jam on the first night of #Paprika22 The event which, invited audience members for an evening of artistic collaboration began with an excerpt from the book One Drum by late Ojibway author Richard Wagamese "When sharing happens, loads are lessened and results increase. When sharing happens, the great nurturing wheel of energy is further empowered. It begins with a humble effort–the smallest circles first.” Through the act of a free flow expression, all were able to explore the 1st Grandfather teaching of Humility- Dbaadendiziwin #TheaTO #Toronto #Emergingartists #freeflow #creativejam #paprikafestival

I am excited to announce that I have been the graphic designer for this years @paprikafestival poster & programme guide! The festival was originally scheduled for May, but due to the pandemic it has now been moved to an online weekend showcase from July 16-19, opening TONIGHT at 7pm. Head over to paprikafestival.com/festival/festival-2020/ to watch the amazing projects and presentations, as well as view the rest of the 70 page programme guide that I've been working hard on for the past few weeks! In this post are just some of the pages of the guide. The cover/poster was illustrated by me featuring a collage of multiple participants of the festival. A huge thank you to Paprika Festival for this great opportunity. 💖

Last night we took a field trip to @beyondwallstpm to check out THE NEGROES ARE CONGREGATING by Natasha Adiyana Morris @pieceofminearts! 💥 It’s an impactful, eye-opening, cathartic performance with an engaging post-show discussion that’s worth sticking around for. They run until Saturday night, check it out if you can! . . . #theaTO #PaprikaFestival #FieldTrip #IndieTheatre #TorontoTheatre #CanadianTheatre #FemalePlaywright #BlackTheatre #CanadianPlays
As we head into the weekend, we’re thinking about everything we learned last week during our second Training Day of the year! 💭 Marketing, publicity, producing, sound design... so many new tools and exciting ways to think about creating our own work. The word of the day was POWER and the line of the day was “Everything’s a draft!” We’re all about empowerment and process here at Paprika! 💥💪🏽📝 . . . #Paprika19 #PaprikaFestival #TrainingDays #ArtistTraining #Workshops #EmergingArtists #NextGeneration #Theatre #Performance #Producing #SelfProducing #SoundDesign
Over the weekend, many of our current Paprika participants got the chance to see @_manidoons production of Yolanda Bonnell’s #bug, co-presented by @beyondwallstpm and @nativeearthperformingarts!
