Sister Warriors
Join Affair of Honor for a livestream workshop presentation of Sister Warriors by Roselyn Kelada-Sedra, followed by a Question & Answer period with the creative team.
Saturday February 6 at 7pm EST
Sunday February 7 at 7pm EST
Sister Warriors is an action-for-stageplay exposing bride-napping in the world today. In this quick-paced, action-packed drama, women warriors lead the exploration of sisterhood and faith and trauma that happens every day. Sister Warriors kicks off when young Rhania is bride-napped, and her half-sister rescues her. Everyone confronts who they are in crisis in a world where sex crimes are tradition, and everyone is bound by the system, even those who seem to hold power.
Witness the first workshop for this new, highly physical play, all online. You will have the first look into the fight and movement choreography design, as well as character and story development.
Past Praise for Affair of Honour:
"Vancouver-based Affair of Honor describes itself as a fight and movement-based theatre and performance company, and these actors have serious skills fencing, sparring and wrestling around the stage convincingly during their numerous conflicts. As smooth as the fight choreography is, the production is equally committed to strong acting, along with a bold message about societys expectations of women." - Janet French, Edmonton Journal
