“Intent to Re·Side” offers a playful opportunity to become Canadian. Learn
unique skills to survive in Canada and step away from your current political
climate.
A “documentation” table invites you to fill out the paper work to apply for
Canadian citizenship and immediately receive a faux passport. In this
performance I introduce “Canadiana”: including how to chop wood, set a
trapline, recognize an igloo, the importance of the fur trade and how to
convert your text messages to smoke signals. Intent to Re·Side is a call, to
stand up with glowing hearts and see thee rise to take creative action in the
true North strong and free!
