Sunrise Performance

Sadie Berlin & Clayton Windatt

August 9th at 6:00 am
North Bay Waterfront
Memorial Dr, North Bay, ON

 

Collaborative arts offerings come together as Sadie Berlin and Clayton Windatt engage North Bay’s waterfront during sunrise. Sadie and Clayton will be engaging the ON THE EDGE Fringe Festival all week, witnessing performances and speaking with artists, arts enthusiasts, and patrons, researching, and informing art creation. With an effort to be spontaneous and reactive this performance asks participants to join in collaborative creation and help build a performance together. Join Sadie and Clayton as they explore land, locality, and situational awareness through community-engaged performative actions on Saturday, August 9th at 6am.
