MOTIONLIVE presents ANEEMAH’S SPOT
at the 2014 B.A.N.D / TD Then & Now Festival

 

@ Living Arts Centre, Mississauga
Feb 8th 1pm & 8pm

 

@ 918 Bathurst Centre, Toronto
Feb 14th 1pm & 8pm
Feb 15th 1pm & 8pm
Feb 16th 1pm

 

ANEEMAH’S SPOT is a stylistic mix of stealthy dialogue, rhyme and spoken word. The funeral of “G” brings Aneemah and Wan together to mourn and share their histories, as they are forced to let go of the past and choose how they will navigate life, either apart or together, from this moment on.

 

Written by Motion, and directed by Charles Officer, the award-winning production stars Amanda Parris and Shomari Downer and features an infectious sound-scape by DJ L’Oqenz that pulsates like the city that birthed it.

Producer Byron Abalos
Production Design Hanna Puley
Stage Manager Jiv Parasram

ORALTORIO Plays at the PIECE OF MINE FESTIVAL

Posted on September 4, 2013 by MotionLive

About the festival

The piece of mine theatre festival is a profound, imaginative and fresh production. Between September 13-15, 2013, you’ll witness 8 black playwrights present current work in development. This festival aims to stage upcoming plays with  stories that boldly relay contemporary realities, while exposing overlooked history and insightful futures. With that said, many of the works will be weaved with elements of rhythm and movement such as hip-hop, spoken word, dance and live music. To end each evening, there will be an audience talkback dedicated to provide the artists with vital comments and questions to further develop their work.  All of the action will take place at Palmerston Theatre (560 Palmerston Ave., 2 blocks west of Bathurst & Bloor, TOronto).
