There Is So Much More To Say
A performance that makes multigenerational conversations with the people who are in the room.
Created and performed by Erin Brubacher, Chloe Cha, and Anne Wessels, supported by Sara Constant, Janet Morton, Andrea Nann, and Reza Nik.
The project will next be performed at Eastern Edge Gallery in St. John’s Newfoundland, on July 30th, 2024 at 6pm. Check back for more details.
There Is So Much More To Say is grounded in the belief that connection and communication between people at different stages in life is important in navigating our shared world.

The first, Summer 2022, iteration of Talk To Me (presented by the SummerWorks lab), asked: who are the people we come from, and how do we know ourselves through them? Four grandchildren began a conversation.
