Carolyn Debt sirenscrossing

Carolyn Deby / sirenscrossing

sirenscrossing is an international, collaborative umbrella for a transdisciplinary site-specific practice. We think of humans as only one node of liveliness in the interweave of the living Earth. Through creating audience experiences in everyday spaces, we deepen into the lived reality of humans (even those in cities) and their sympoietic mesh with nonhumans, landscapes, and Earth systems. sirenscrossing seeks to enliven individual human’s awareness of their spiritual, biological, ecological, social, and technological entanglement in multispecies and hybrid bio/geo/techno processes. All of this has become increasingly urgent, on a planet in crisis. We hope to contribute to a tidal surge of momentum for change. Commissioned artist for Coventry UK City of Culture (2021-2022).

Hemispheric Encounters: Ecologies Research Cluster

Hemispheric Encounters: Developing Transborder Research-Creation Practices brings together scholars, artists, activists, and community organizations from across the Americas to explore hemispheric performance as an artistic practice for addressing social and environmental justice. The Ecologies cluster considers site-based performance strategies that address politics of land (and agencies of its more-than human inhabitants), as well as spatial politics of occupying public spaces. We delve into legacies of transnational resource extraction and land politics.

Red Betty Theatre

Red Betty Theatre has welcomed and centred IBPOC voices in Hamilton, Ontario through vibrant storytelling and theatrical presentations since 2011. There’s a clue about our name in our logo if you can read Hindi: lal beti – red daughter. Red for rage and blood and love; these three elements fuel women – forgotten women, shunned girls, outsiders daring to question patriarchal dominance while subverting beliefs that set up women and girls up to be accessories, impediments, or glorified servants.
Red Betty Theatre supports marginalized women’s voices. As the first local IBPOC feminist theatre company, Red Betty Theatre plays a vital role in Hamilton by making space for ‘other’ voices to grow and be heard. There’s enough room for everyone.
