On Saturday June 21st there was a workshop presentation of Shelter, by Julie Salverson and Juliet Palmer. The participants, listed below shared the work they had been doing all week with an audience and engaged in a talkback about the opera afterwards. For this particular presentation of Shelter Tapestry is grateful to the Department of Canadian Heritage who supported the presentation through their “Celebrate Canada Program” on National Aboriginal Day. For those of you who missed the presentation, there is a slideshow of pictures below. Just click on the photograph to advance the slide.
