Kismet workshops



"

The Kismet creative team is Emelia, Anita, Daryl, Camille and Hazel and we have just completed our second creation workshop.
In June we all met up in Toronto and spent a week introducing all of the interviewees to the team.
It was a very fulfilling week and there were many times we felt overwhelmed with the honor of hearing your Kismet experiences.
Our interviewees were all close with us in the room that week and we thank them again for their openness and trust in us telling their stories.

Soon after, in July we spent another week in Vancouver, delving further into the stories and finding themes, images and inspiring concepts that have similar creative touchstones.
We also got more imaginative and experimentational with our approach to the material.
"Hmmmm, what would happen if this character and this character met?" "What if this piece is only movement and music, no words are neccesary."

One of the Kismet questions was "Do you have a song that moves you when you hear it?"
We played some of the songs that were our interviewees favorites and we are now compiling a Kismet CD with a collection of all of the 100 favorite songs we have collected. Lets just call it an ecclectic mix.

So now its back to the writing table until our next workshop in November. We'll keep you posted.
