Re-Reading the Riot Act: Cycles One through Five by leannej
This book is an extension of a performance by leannej, originally presented at the Waldorf Hotel on the night of Vancouver’s 2011 Stanley Cup Riot. Five stories intertwine to present an account of protest and resistance on a personal, as well as historic scale. Co-published with UNIT/PITT Projects.
I have been working on a project with another writer where we are trying to shape a performance for sometime in October. We are very different people and very different writers, so it will be an interesting assignment.
