2010

This project worked with youth from the art class at Payepot School in Paipot First Nation and the Amadeus Youth Orchestra, Conservatory of the Performing Arts in Regina. Both groups worked with a piece of music composed by musician and composer Ramses Calderon.

At Payepot we worked with youth to create the video Dreaming of Horses which uses this piece of music as a soundtrack. Through a performance and writing workshop process students developed a drama about falling asleep in class and dreaming of horses. This video was then projected during the live performance by the Amadeus Youth Orchestra under the direction of Ed Minevich, Regina Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster at Darke Hall in Regina, December 7, 2010.
