Emergence
Emergence is the journey of Kwakwaka'wakw poet Krystal Cook, who combines movement, mask, sound and spoken word to celebrate the emergence of voice. From tribal fishing village to big city, through the spiritual tests and victories she encounters in her desire to become whole amidst colliding world views. Emergence is a step towards creating and affirming earth-based theatre that honours ancestral forces and connections to spirit, land and family, and acknowledges the rich characters, oral history, and spirit words that live in our lifeblood. "A Self-reflective trip to the heart of racism, culture and spirit," (Cowichan Valley News), Emergence has recently been part of Puente Theatre's Meli Festival as well as Sarasvàti Productions' FemFest 2008 in Wininpeg. 55 minutes

Cam & Legs
Cam and Legs is a tiny, beautiful, funny piece of theatre, that's both kid-and-adult friendly. "Cam and Legs tells the story of a headless, gotta-dance, gotta-move puppet who dreams of becoming a great DJ and landing on the cover of DJ Magazine. Telling the story against a backdrop of hypnotic techno music, Cam and Legs unfolds a bit like a dream, as we follow the journey of the would-be DJ through an urban world that includes an apartment building, a pawn shop, a skateboard park and finally, The Scratch Club, where he comes face-to-face with his dreams. Fidler tells the story of the aspiring DJ with perfect, whimsical, heartbreaking pitch. And this puppet can move it, move it, move it!"
