StarDark
Written and directed by Cayley McConaghy
Created with members of the drama therapy group at Canadian Mental Health Association – Edmonton Region, in collaboration with theatre professionals from the Edmonton community, StarDark was presented as part of Mental Illness Awareness Week 2012. Their goal was to create greater awareness of the issues still surrounding mental illness, particularly the stigma that comes with it. Through multidisciplinary techniques, they took the audience into the stories of three of the actors, who have lived experience with Mental Illness.
This event was a huge success, both in terms of selling out, and the powerful effect it had on the audience. THANK YOU to the audience and the tremendous feedback we recieved! The performers came alive on stage, and the moving stories and intricate choreography did the director and playwright proud. The small art show that appeared in the lobby added an extra touch, thanks to the Out Of The Shadows Art Therapy Group. Thanks again to everyone who lent
their support, and came to see the show! Keep your eyes open
for another performance at the Edmonton International Fringe
Festival (August 15 - 25, 2013).
