"One-woman 'docu-dances': humourous, multi-disciplinary, bilingual shows created from documentary-style interviews."
Taking in Strangers
A bilingual one-woman show bringing together people Moyes interviewed throughout rural Newfoundland and Quebec. Oral histories told through dance, physical theatre, video and projected images. Taking in Strangers reveals surprising links between Quebec and Newfoundland and juxtaposes their unique senses of humour and place. Moyes plays 20 different people in their own words and accents, with their own gestures.
Performed to date in St. John’s, Trois Rivières, Vancouver and Brazil and invited to New York’s Joyce Soho. Funding by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts
