WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back to the revival of The Paper Crane Project!
I have decided to reopen this blog once again after a one year hiatus. Now, before I tell you about this revival I will update you on my past year. Since my volunteer expedition to Japan in the summer of 2011 I have been heavily involved in several theatre productions at SFU including: Escapement, ReCall, Women of Troy, and The Sandalwood Box. I have learned so much about art and life through interdisciplinary collaboration with many up-and-coming local artists. 2012 was a year of expansive creative explorations as well as fruitful self discoveries. So why reopen my blog now? After a year of intense theatre training, I felt it was finally time for me to start fusing my humanitarian efforts and artistic passion together!

This year, I am helping Project Limelight, a local theatre company for youth in the Strathcona neighborhood. The 18 performers between the ages of 8-12 have been working extremely hard for this year's production of "There's No Place Like Oz". I am so grateful to be working with such dedicated people in the local community who are all pitching in to make this show a success.

 The show will be on February 24th at 2pm and 6pm at the Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema at SFU Woodward's (149 West Hastings St).

In addition, I'd like to thank Emily Ross from SFU Vancouver who has written a blog post about my work in community engagement!
