Water. Fire. Circus. Sunset.

Calliope is THRILLED to present Water on Fire with NorthFire Circus (Chaos to Calm, The Witches). Through our collaboration, we have been exploring our relationship with water and fire, and their mutually destructive nature... this new show is a different piece of theatre that incorporates dance, fire, and music to tell a story.

RSVP to meet our performers, get up-to-date news on show details, and help us spread the word that a spectacle on water is coming to Kingston!

Grab your seat in Douglas Fluhrer Park, along the K&P trail starting at 7:30pm - the show will start approximately 15-20 minutes later.

This show is free for the public to attend. If you would like to make a donation to Calliope, please visit calliopecollective.com or email info @ calliopecollective dot com

This show will be used as part of the development of our Story on Water coming spring of 2023. Many thanks to the Ontario Arts Council, City of Kingston Arts Fund, Kingston Arts Council, Canadian Heritage, and Canada Council for the Arts!

The final part of our Spoken Word Poetry Project is all about the performance!

Award-winning Poet, Writer, and Dancer, Abena Beloved Green returns as we continue our exploration of healing through the pandemic by connecting to nature and expressing it with the Spoken Word.

In our first two workshops in September and March (you do not need to have attended to participate in part 3) the focus was on writing for the spoken word with an introduction to the performance. In this class, Abena will expand on the performance element process.

Free for any participants of parts 1 and 2, sliding scale for those just joining us.

Abena seeks to create, engage, and elevate through words and movement. She will continue to draw on her knowledge of multiple artistic disciplines to guide participants through the process of performing their creative pieces.

The intention is to have you leave with a piece ready for performance and a dozen participants will have the opportunity to complete a proper recording of their writing.

For those who did not participate in parts one and two, you will receive writing prompts before the workshop so you will have something to work on and refine during the afternoon.

If the pandemic has left you feeling isolated, introverted, or in a creative rut, this class is here to reignite your urge for artistic expression.

All levels of experience and performing discipline welcome - you do not need to be a "poet" or even a "writer" - this is to guide folks through a process of gratitude and expression.

Special thanks to the Ontario Arts Council and the Kingston Arts Council/City of Kingston Arts Fund for supporting this project.
