We’re Here. Are you?

Created in response to the post-Covid disconnection and despair felt on the streets of Toronto, Here is a series of surprise, public sidewalk-shows.  Short and joyful, Here seeks to get our audience of passersby to look up from their phones — without forcing this attention. We surprise, intrigue, and delight our passerby audiences — connecting them to us, to their environment, and sometimes to each other — if only for a moment.  Here is performed with no ask — no busking, no hashtag, no pressure.  It is a gift for all and a reward for those with their eyes up and their ears open. Called “brave,” “inspiring,” and “generous,” in the summer of 2023, Here was performed on ten sidewalks across the city of Toronto.

Created in collaboration with the performers: Alessandra Cavellini, Annika Flores, Melanie Leon, Alexandra Milne, and Lenny Segovia. Skirts! sewn by Linda Phillips.
