We’ll conclude with a rumpus-filled parade of our wild spring selves.Participants will also be warmly invited to parade again as part of a surprise street choir later in the month.

Finn (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer based on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəyə̓m, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səlí̓lwətaʔ/Selilwitulh Nations. She creates live performance, video, and film using puppetry at large and miniature scales, physical theatre, immersive design, humor, and meandering storytelling. Finn often embodies nonhumans with oversized heads—recently a cargo ship, mushroom, octopus, and deer-cyborg—to trouble human-centric narratives and invite mischievous togetherness amid uncertainty. Her work has been presented in Canada, the Czech Republic, Japan, and the U.S. at Risk/Reward Festival (PICA, PDX), La MaMa ETC (NYC), Anthology Film Archives (NYC), Mabou Mines (NYC), and Exponential Festival (The Brick, NYC). She has received support from the Brooklyn Arts Council and a MAP Fund Microgrant, with residencies at Mabou Mines and Object Movement. Finn trained at École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq and holds an MFA from Simon Fraser University.WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.sarahkfinn.com" title="http://www.sarahkfinn.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.sarahkfinn.com</a>
