ILLICIT - PERFORMANCE

With Illicit, we aim to illuminate our stories and amplify our voices as people who have made DURC what it is: a place of meaning, belonging, and hope. Our intent is to imaginatively explore harm reduction, drug policy, and the realities of life on the margins through art forms such as writing, movement, music, theatre, and visual art. Our goal is to create a compelling work of performance art that will affirm our community's vision while viscerally and emotionally drawing the wider public into our world... Illicit will premiere the results of our research in a workshop performance on Friday, August 11, 2017 as part of the first Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival, at the Roundhouse Community Centre. The presentation begins at 7pm and is free or by donation. Our intent is to share this work with audiences including healthcare workers, policy makers, members of law enforcement, members of the wider public of Vancouver, and of course, our community in the Downtown Eastside...
