Spin -- A Workshop Presentation
8pm, The Chamber, PWYC
Written and Performed by Evalyn Parry, with Anna Friz and Brad Hart
A musical, poetic and theatrical investigation of the Bicycle as muse, musical instrument, and instrument of social change. Taking inspiration from a series of amazing-but-little-known cycling ladies from history (Annie Londonderry, the first woman to ride around the world in 1895! Amelia Bloomer, 19th century sufferagette, advocate of dress reform , and name sake of bloomers !), Parry spins a story that encompasses proto-feminism, the invention, evolution and marketing of the bicycle, Toronto's most notorious bike thief, and a life-changing accident.
