<p><span>We’re back with this month’s featured artist. We encourage you to watch these videos with an open mind, and to remember that starting a relationship with an artist can be something smaller than a mainstage show such as inviting them to lead a workshop, sit on a panel, or collaborate with an artist local to you.</span></p>
<p><span>This month we invite you to meet featured artist<span> </span><strong>Kate Kamo McHugh</strong>. A dance and theatre artist from Kitchener, Kate has shared a short video with us about her current work in progress,<span> </span><strong><a title="20 Grains of Rice:Seeds of Reclamation Trailer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiPPHeAZRn0&ab_channel=KateKamoMcHugh">… Grains of Rice: Seeds of Reclamation</em></a>,<span> </span></strong>which is an exploration of her Japanese Canadian identity, incorporating a variety of artistic elements such as dance, improvised music, text and digital art. Follow the link below for this 3-minute introduction to the project!</span></p>
