Unique theatre experience in Calgary combines art and accessibility

lison435

When Ebony Gooden moved to Calgary, she knew she wanted to teach people to listen to something other than just a voice.


“When I came here, I realized I had to fight for things to be accessible,” says Gooden, the only Black Deaf artist living in Calgary.


She’s now determined to make artistic experiences accessible to all. One of those experiences is The Room Sculpture Experience, a unique, hands-on event created by Ghost River Theatre artistic director Eric Rose.


“It’s really an immersive art-making experience,” Rose explains. “We allow people to come in, it’s guided, and they make art together — silently. What’s so beautiful about that is the language of art is the currency in the room.”

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
