About the Program

My Life in Colour is a comedic play telling the life story of Bonnie, a senior aged woman who finds herself feeling capped from new experiences in her life. As she recounts her life’s many adventures, a live painter works on a large canvas amidst beautiful sequences of contemporary dance, ultimately inspiring Bonnie to remain open to new adventures and new chapters of her life’s story.

This innovative theatrical experience combines storytelling, dance, live painting, and audience participation, culminating in a collaborative artwork co-created with the artists that symbolizes the collective experiences of each audience member.

Presented in partnership with Unwrap Theatre.
