Festival Events

Here and now

Alexandria Patience presented Here and Now, a performance linking together traditional Scottish stories, with the real-life stories of Scottish immigrants to Calgary.

HERE - relates to being ‘here’ but understanding the connection to the lives of those who are now dead – those we love and those with whom we feel connections of other kinds.

NOW – relates to encouraging the inclusion of the audience’s lives and stories within the performances, with a recognition that we too will die and our stories can be left behind.

Alexandria Patience is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in theatre practise. Her focus is in story and in creating engaging indoor and outdoor events,

and integrating community involvement in her performances. She was joined in this performance by musician and composer Donald McNeill.

Friday 7th November, 7.30pm, St Mark's Unitarian Church, 7 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2DP. A family event.
