WRITTEN BY VEDA HILLE, BILL RICHARDSON & AMIEL GLADSTONE
From The Cultch: “The revolutionary show that brought us all joy and inspiration in tough times last Fall is back! Welcome back the cast of wild and wacky characters from the Craigslist community as they attempt to buy and sell online, all the while longing and searching for human connection.
Returning to bring the show back to life (performing again from their individual pods) are the incredibly talented local cast: Meaghan Chenosky, Josh Epstein, Chirag Naik, Amanda Sum, and Andrew Wheeler.”

Intertidal Room - A Soundwalk
Created by Jacek Smolicki
Launch date: September 27, 2020
Location: Stanley Park
Duration: approx 45 minutes
During the pandemic, our sense of hearing seems to have gotten sharper. Urban noises and the disruptive din of everyday life rhythms have given room to more subtle and less easily perceptible soundscapes. In this unstable period an unexpected possibility emerged to rethink how we have been connecting with, affecting, and often exploiting our lived environments on multiple levels. Can attentive listening challenge our ways of inhabiting the world? Can a short moment of aural attention to transient organisms whose lives remain usually imperceptible to us, reconfigure our daily conducts on a personal, collective, or even planetary scale?
This soundwalk is part of Soundwalk September and Culture Days.
