Register here to reserve your spot (pay-what-you-can)
Join Dancer/Choreographer Mairéad Filgate and Singer/songwriter/harpist and music educator Shannon Kingsbury ​for an immersive sensory journey through the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. Creators Shannon Kingsbury and Mairéad Filgate, along with local artists - musicians Bethany Houghton, Nick Russell; dancer Andrea Lithgow; visual and fibre artists Scott Walling and Wendy Lingard; and film artist/videographer Brad Brown - will bring the Haliburton Sculpture Forest alive in celebration of its 25th Anniversary.
Featuring original songs, choreography, visual art, and sound collage built from community voices, this site-responsive performance guides audiences on a journey through a series of vignettes inspired by the sculptures — reflecting on the layering of memory, belonging, creative lineage, and our deep relationship with the natural world.
​
Plan to pop by during the week, August 24 - 30 to watch the performances in development and the artistic interaction with the Sculpture Forest.
See the Haliburton Sculpture Forest website for information about other events and activities happening to celebrate 25 years of the Haliburton Sculpture Forest!
