Sibling Rivers premiere at M:ST 7, Calgary

Written By Allison Wyper

Last Friday we officially premiered Sibling Rivers at the 7th biennial Mountain Standard Time (M:ST) Performative Art Festival in Calgary, Alberta!

More than a year in the making, Sibling Rivers is an online collaboration between Terrance Houle (Blackfoot, Canada), Sam Fox (Perth, Australia), and myself, that culminated in a 1-hour intermedia performance installation at Contemporary Calgary.

For this presentation Terrance Houle and I performed live with local artists Dani Navia and Trey Madsen, with an online performance by Sam Fox and pre-recorded performance/video/sound contributions from Ella-Rose Trew, Aes Tchiachovsky, and Sete Tele (Australia); Chris Dirksen (Canada); and Erika Katrina Barbosa, Rafa Esparza, and Sebastian Hernandez (Los Angeles).

After a few days of rest and relaxation here in the high prairie, we are already thinking about where to take the project next. Does your city have a river with an interesting story? Contact us!
