I asked people I met what they wished other people knew about them. We all have dreams and desires and fears. If you can recognize that my dreams, desires and fears might be similar to your own, then maybe there is hope that we might discover our common humanity. Don't worry some of it is funny. You can expect some heartfelt songs interspersed with humorous commercial breaks. https://www.openheartartstheatre.com/through-the-woods daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/0f26e955-f1e1-4763-92a0-86333a6b2192/1B7A4232.jpg Through the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/064e8337-177d-4b7f-8b4d-f69e281f2eea/1B7A4385.jpg Through the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/19143791-9c76-4777-932f-e36993a49479/1B7A4317.jpg Through the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/070fbdc2-8712-4205-af10-3086c4e22de3/1B7A4272.jpg Through the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/1619462205651-6P798CCVTCJMVBUA8JSD/Woods_35075.jpg Through the Woods Graphics: Elyse Maxwell https://www.openheartartstheatre.com/in-sight daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/3c41159f-3d20-44a3-b1f5-648363cf4bd0/In+Sight+AGH+2017.jpg In Sight Richard Beaune, Eduardo Di Martino, Mayumi Lashbrook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/3014ede5-71f6-4ff6-b9b8-0784eaede89b/_MG_5904.jpg In Sight Kate Lowe, Lisa Emmons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/5260f81c-c14a-495a-ab6b-72f6e40d434f/_MG_5889.jpg In Sight Mayumi Lashbrook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/2ef8bdcf-b926-45b5-994d-188ccb5c69b2/_MG_5893.jpg In Sight Cameron Buttrum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/0ef94105-1baf-418d-aad9-c3ff1e2b8135/_MG_5896.jpg In Sight Eduardo Di Martino https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/780393b0-256d-48db-bd5e-47b1ef5ec3c2/_MG_5927.jpg In Sight Richard Beaune https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/1619387122354-SH1OGL5URLS7K0176RYW/IN+SIGHT.jpg In Sight https://www.openheartartstheatre.com/normal-shmormal daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/1619387746361-3W29RSG32WF5DDX0X0BY/Normalprogramtitlepage-01.jpeg Normal Shmormal Graphics: Claud Spadafora https://www.openheartartstheatre.com/conversations-frost-bites daily 0.75 2023-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f546c259c4028f7f7b2dc/1619647937037-NC7EE8AN0EH6B32E0ZIV/conversations-window.jpg Conversations Around the Table: Chapter 1 - Conversations Around the Table Hamilton Frostbites Site Specific Festival 2020 Waterfront Trust In response to the growing disparity in Hamilton, the performance is set against the backdrop of the discussions taking place to develop the land.

The performance asks the audience to confront their reactions when approached by people perceived as homeless.

Jammy Lo came to Open Heart with an idea to empower people through dance. She wanted to teach a dance class that would build endurance and that was embedded with self defense moves. We engaged choreographer Josh Taylor from Defining Movement Dance as a choreography mentor and Emily Kulpaka from Determination Martial Arts to provide instructional support for self defense. Over the course of six weeks, Jammy and Josh have created the foundation of a choreographic work which will become part of the our culminating full length presentation in April 2022. Another fantastic outcome of this collaboration is that Jammy is teaching her own style of dance class . Drop in - every Wednesday 530-6 at The Music Hall 24 Main St W Hamilton.

An audio piece exploring the experience of service providers working with those experiencing homelessness In the Spring of 2021, our cohort of artists conducted interviews with a variety of service providers who work with the homeless community in Hamilton. Drawing inspiration from their stories and words, artists collaborated to create an audio piece exploring their perspectives. Click below to listen. Created by Karen Ancheta, Paula Grove, Rose Hopkins, Melissa Murray-Mutch, Carlyn Rhamey, Kit Simmons, Kelly Wolf, and Amber Wood. Special thanks goes to Samm Floren, Edouard Jacinto, Rebecca Morris-Miller, Marcia McIlveen and the other service providers who wish to remain anonymous for providing their time to be interviewed.
