Each year, Saskatchewan students, many of whom live in rural areas, enjoy music, dance, drumming, mime, theatre, magic, storytelling, and circus arts performances.
Each fall and spring, professional performing artists from Saskatchewan, Canada and beyond, are selected to tour for their artistic excellence and special ability to interact with and relate to student audiences.
Study guides, with suggestions for pre- and post-performance discussion and activities, are sent to schools before each tour.
What does it mean to be part of the in crowd?
In an imaginary letter to her absent older brother, Braidie struggles to understand news stories about the torture and murder of a local teenage girl and how the brutality she sees in the headlines is reflected in her own friend group. Revisiting memories, Braidie tracks her own complicity and participation in the bullying of one girl and considers what it means to go too far.
The Shape of a Girl challenges audiences to interrogate their capacity to both help and harm others and to be brave when standing up for what is right. As relevant as ever, Green Thumb Theatre premiered The Shape of a Girl over 20 years ago, and the piece has since gone on to hundreds of productions worldwide.
