Over the course of a three-year / three-phase process concluding in Summer 2016, The Ontario Shebang unfolds through a series of residencies, intensive workshops, community forums, and intimate studio events that gradually build toward a full-scale theatrical and/or site-specific production in each region.
As a part of the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, Dreamwalker is also facilitating The Ontario Shebang Community Learning Initiative.
With the support of local artists and community animateurs, the Learning Initiative will document and “translate” the legacy of the Shebang Process through a variety of mediums, including texts, sketches, photographs, audio/video recordings, augmented reality applications, and more.
An inter-regional networking meeting and a series of new online artist/presenter toolkits will also help refine and disseminate the legacy of The Ontario Shebang to a wider audience.
