Kelsey Ford is once again excited to be an Artist in Residence for the 25th Street Theatre’s 2022 Fringe Festival! This year Kelsey will be leading a collaborative community art installation project titled “Light Up the Stage” which was commissioned by the Fringe Festival. The Fringe and Kelsey have partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Saskatoon , É cole Victoria School , Saskatoon Open Door Society and Saskatchewan Intercultural Association to host workshops and create small parts of a larger install
“Light Up the Stage” is inspired by the main attraction at the Fringe festival; Live Theatre! Using lighting gels, which are coloured, translucent sheets of thin plastic used to change the colour of spotlights on a stage, Kelsey and different community organizations will make flowers. These flowers will be hung up at the festival allowing the sun the pass through them and light up the ground that attendees are walking on in different vibrant colours.
This year’s Fringe Festival will take place from July 28th to August 6th, 2022. Come visit Kelsey at her booth behind Victoria School during the Fringe to make a flower window sticker! She’ll be there weekdays 6pm - 8pm and weekends 2pm - 8pm.
