Evalyn Parry takes her audience on an uncommon theatrical and musical journey in Spin, her tour-de-force performance celebrating the Bicycle. A fascinating web of stories that travel from 19th-century women’s emancipation to 21st-century consumer culture, peeling back layers of history to reveal a surprising and contemporary heart to her theme of liberation.
A vintage bicycle, hooked up to simple electronics and suspended in a mechanic’s stand, is played – from fenders to spokes to vinyl seat, from whirling pedals to bells – by percussionist Brad Hart, providing a captivating sonic accompaniment to parry’s songs and monologues. Staged by award-winning director Ruth Madoc-Jones, with stunning visual projections by acclaimed designer Beth Kates, this unique show has delighted audiences across the continent.
“Part theatre, part music gig, part spoken word poetry, part documentary: whatever it is, it is brilliant” Toronto Star
“…a welcome breath of fresh air….SPIN makes something beautiful out of taking your life into your own hands” Globe & Mail
“Annie Londonderry’s story becomes a portal into Parry’s own life and heart and that is what gives the show such resonance.” Calgary Sun
“…this magnetic artist and her winning production team invest the work with such intelligence and playfulness, it’s hard not to be charmed. NOW Magazine
“a show with as much heart as it possesses design and brains.” Calgary Herald

Born on Prince Edward Island, a small maritime province on the east coast of Canada, famous for its lush sand dunes and ocean tails rising up to meet a vast, open sky. There is an undeniably ethereal quality to Grant’s voice and her music, described by Australia’s The Age is that of “dreamy, harp-and woodwinds folk, the work of a painter born in paradise” Consequence of Sound cite “majestic vocals” whilst Pop Matters refer to her voice as a “Aural Equivalent of a Warm Embrace”
She now lives in Nova Scotia, where she is raising her two young sons alongside renowned music producer Daniel Ledwell. In a lake house in a mostly rural community, art and music is being born everyday. Jenn has spent over a decade touring across Canada, The U.S.A, Europe as well as Australia.
