LESSONS IN TEMPERAMENT
Winner of the Prize for Production at SummerWorks Festival 2016
Written & Performed by James Smith
Directed & Developed by Mitchell Cushman
In Lessons in Temperament, James Smith tunes pianos in various public and private spaces throughout Toronto while exploring the concept of equal temperament as well as his three older brothers mental illnesses: obsessive compulsive disorder, autism, and schizophrenia. Smith attempts to grant balance to the instrument that has both kept him grounded and kept him company throughout his life.
Part memoir, part performance art, part tune-up, this site-specific show offers a unique theatrical experience, and a singular glimpse into the lives of those living with troubled, beautiful, distempered minds.
The performance will take place in a secret location each night.
Guests will be emailed their performance location 48 hours before the show.
If you do not receive the location information or have any specific questions about your secret location, please contact Michelle at michelle@outsidethemarch.ca or 647-535-6769.
The performance is approximately 90 minutes long.
Please note that the performances on June 19th and June 28th are wheelchair accessible.
