Decompositions - TCB CURATES

DECOMPOSITIONS is a solo performance written and performed by theatre ARTIST and organic FARMER, Tannis Kowalchuk. This devised work is composed of a series of fiercely personal stories, dances, and songs that explore decomposition as a metaphor for living a full life. Kowalchuk, founder of Farm Arts Collective, has created a dynamic poetic duet with a pile of compost in a brave new work of live intimate theatre.

She is also founding artistic director of Farm Arts Collective, an agri-cultural center dedicated to farming, art, food, and ecology. With decades of devised theatre experience, Tannis explores art, farming, mortality, and the beautiful mess of it all. Decompositions is produced by Farm Arts Collective, directed by Mimi McGurl (director) with Rima Fand (song composer), Janhavi Pakrashi aka DJ Tikka Masala (beats, soundscapes, sound art), technical director is Jess Beveridge.
