OUROBOROS

AN ORIGINAL SANDBOX THEATRE PRESENTATION

Ouroboros, Sandbox Theatre’s capstone production, is a mixed media performance that speaks to the cyclical nature of life, its repetitions in the struggles for justice and the resilience of young people. An original production devised by the ensemble and directed by Sid Malcolm, Ouroboros pulls back the curtain to reveal the intrusive thoughts inside the minds of lovers and enemies, opportunists and nonconformists, bringing together a range of perspectives and revelations about the manifestation of power.

Beginning in 2011 the academic programs of the Marilyn I. Walker School have celebrated the legacy of Marilyn, her gift and her vision by programming the Walker Cultural Leaders (WCL) Series. The ongoing development and refinement of the WCL program facilitates invitations to recognized cultural leaders, top researchers, visiting artists, scholars, professionals, theatre companies, producing and presenting organizations, associations, and others to contribute to the intellectual and creative life of the School and the Niagara region.

Our guests will engage in professional activities such as public lectures, performances, exhibitions, workshops, laboratories, and demonstrations, and will participate in other pedagogical and creative activities including guest teaching, the professional mentoring of faculty and staff, critiques of student work, and community engagement activities.

In addition to generally intensifying the creative, scholarly and teaching cultures of the School, special emphasis is put on developing knowledge and familiarity of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts as an incubator in the arts and culture sector of Niagara, exploring potential intersections of the School and the surrounding community/region, and promoting inter‐ and trans‐disciplinarity within the School and beyond.
