Theatre in the Bush is presented by Ramshackle Theatre, Whitehorse, Yukon. My on-site interactive installation Weathergrams is inspired by calligrapher and professor Lloyd Reynalds. I hung huge sheets of handmade Kozo paper in the woods for projecting images of plants and roots. Participants used pen and ink, stone wax stamps and analogue typewriters to express a poetic thought or poem on stips of handmade paper that were tied to branches and left out to weather.
