"holding waterways" is now presenting June 1-20, 2021, at the Montreal Fringe Festival!
Holding Waterways is a poetic, visual and musical spoken word journey that explores Daughter’s decisions, regrets and expectations. Her life is intricately linked to her relationship with Mother. Her emotions funnel into a fluid state and she questions: “What is self-acceptance?” Like waterways held in her palms, the answer flows.
