I am incredibly excited to be participating in the 2024 River Clyde Pageant. I am overflowing with creative energy thanks to the workshops and rehearsals, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been making.
Pageant Performances are July 25th - 28th and August 1st - 4th at 7:30pm
From the website: The River Clyde Pageant: A Flicker in the Field deepens the narrative of the 2023 Pageant, exploring themes of disruption, transformation, and the constellations that connect us all. Drawing inspiration from storms, from spectacles both celestial and human-made, and from the intricate networks of mycelium beneath us and human connections above, this year’s Pageant is a celebration of connection and resilience. Gathering at a vibrant wildflower field beside the River Clyde, audiences will embark on a festive procession that winds downhill and settles within a living stage crafted from windfall from Hurricane Fiona and woven willow branches. The space will come alive with stilt-walkers, giant puppets, dancers, musicians and performers of all ages, in a performance that sparks delight, contemplation, and wonder.
Pageant Poster designed by Krista Wells. Image ID: The Pageant 2024 poster image, with text that reads: “The River Clyde Pageant, A Flicker in the Field”. The artwork is circular, set against a dusty blue background, and the image depicts four silhouetted trees rising up from a strip of red land, with twisted roots and mycelia extending underground. In the centre of the image are three balloons, orange, red and yellow, floating above green hills and water. The sky is dark blue and is filled with starry constellations.
Ross Malcolm Boyd performs original songs alongside favorite covers by artists ranging from Bob Dylan to The Mountain Goats. Enjoy some eclectic selections on ukulele and guitar alongside some amazing food and drink.

I had the privilege of performing with a group of artists from Montreal for Charlottetown’s 2023 Art In The Open event. It was an emotional experience I will never forget. Below is a gently edited description provided by the artist.
She Cut Her Own Belly Open is first of all an activist piece aiming to expose the structures that oppress marginalized people. It centers on discourses that celebrate the oppressed person’s resilience and hopes to show the violent underside of this praise, as a serenade that binds them to a position where they become responsible, with their newly acquired status of “resilient”, for overcoming any future trauma imposed on them.
The performance itself will consisted of 5 musicians following Joliz Dela Peña across the city, while serenading her with a song that praises her resilience. Musicians praise, but never help Joliz, as she carries a weight that keeps her on the verge of exhaustion. The musicians embody the societal gaze that fixes marginalized people in a position of vulnerability.
