Summer Arts Camp at New Dance Horizons, June - September 2022
I worked with local kids over the summer demonstrating sound creation techniques—everything from foley to field recordings to making EDM tracks in GarageBand/Ableton. The programming was free and included dance, music, yoga, costume making, contortion and other arts. Check out the archives at New Dance Horizons.

Alphabet Elegy, by Rae Staseson with Shelley Bindon
New Dance Horizon’s Love+Loss Performance Series features the premier of Regina artist Rae Staseson's Alphabet Elegy. This special House of Dance performance was created in collaboration with and is performed by Rae Staseson and Shelley Bindon.
Rae Staseson’s Alphabet Elegy is a performed ‘list’, using the rhythm of voice, combined with an exploration of language, to pursue loss, grief, memory, and longing. Often political, sometimes playful, always personal, this work intends to challenge and entertain. Alphabet Elegy is a collaboration with sound designer Shelley Bindon, whose original soundscape will further transform the meaning and lamentation of this work.

Lead by writer-in-residence Margaret Christakos, this free and open creative writing project focused on trees and featured several speakers and readers. I presented on how trees influence us in obvious and not-so obvious ways, and how they inspired me to write a sci-fi novel.

St. Kateri Elementary School
I read my short story "The Fish Kings" to the Grade 5s. Then came the questions — out-of-the-blue questions. They grilled me.
The kids are alright!
