About our Partner
The Voice of the River: The Grand River Community Play is an interdisciplinary piece that will connect the communities and inhabitants that live along the length of the Grand River – a river that begins at the headwaters in Dundalk, then travels 310 km, to the mouth at Port Maitland. About a million people live within the watershed, a watershed that passes cities, towns, villages, trees, wild grasses, coyotes, and includes thirty-nine municipalities and two First Nations territories.
The Voice of a River is about community. It is an inclusive creative activity involving artists, municipal and Indigenous leaders, scientists, Elders, Community folk, children, NFP organizations, educational institutions – and most importantly the Grand River. This is a project about storytelling – in all the ways stories can be told – in spoken word, in song, in dance, ceremony, in art installation, in silence, through different cultural lenses, and via technology. It is an environmental experience – something that continues to evolve, an experience to encourage participating in community with that encouragement extending to next generations for them to reimagine the river, for them to inhabit with their own stories.
