 “OCCUPY ME”    from www.counterpointplayers.com

This “charming, fun, and energetic” (Fully Fringed) YogaComedy features “a masterful physical performance” (Production Ottawa).

Sarah Lotus Blossom is Zen on Speed – she can’t just breathe. Join her for a life-transforming yoga class, where she grapples with joining the Occupy Movement, seeking Nirvana in India, and helping you find your own breath.

OCCUPY ME incorporates the physical participation of the spectators as well as the performer; this production can be enjoyed by both the novice and the expert yogi alike. Created by the Ottawa-based Counterpoint Players OCCUPY ME sold out at the 2013 United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City, and was nominated for a 2013 Rideau Award for Outstanding New Creation.

 WE GLOW   from www.theatre4pt669.com 

Two single executives have hit their ceiling at work. It only makes sense for them to strike a business agreement  to get married and make babies, so that their peers and co-workers don’t think they are too weird to get promotions. But here’s the snag- they are unable to conceive a child and that ignites a series of events that force them off of the “life script” and into the unknown. We invite the audience into the boardroom- The Roots on Whyte Community Room – as members of the board, to listen to these two characters state their cases for returning to work after being put on an “Involuntary Adjustment Period”….FIVE STARS – Winnipeg CBC “Superb Site-Specific Satire” – Winnipeg Free Press.
