The Steelworker's Wife & La Nonna è Qui
by Skye Smith
THE PRODUCTIONS
La Nonna è Qui
Skye Smith performs a contemporary dance piece to the song “Here” by local musician Rod Smith, Skye’s partner. The album, Song For a New Beginning, was recorded locally with the band Leaves Off Trees. La Nonna è Qui portrays an Italian woman preparing a meal for her family. How lucky are so many of us to have grandmothers who showed their love through delicious food. This piece is dedicated to Skye’s late Nonna, Tranquilla Laurenti.
The Steelworker’s Wife
Four students of the Northern Arts Academy’s Actor’s Toolbox Advanced class perform theatrical vignette’s. The vignette’s describe what it was like to live in 1950s Sault Ste. Marie, and have a husband working at the steel plant. Written and workshopped by Skye Smith, the characters are fictional, but the stories are inspired by true events and the local book Only In Canada, Memories of an Italian Canadian, by Ray Stortini.
