Labour Day Program at WAHC - Performance ONLY

Workers Arts & Heritage Centre

On Saturday, September 3rd, join us for a walking tour and some site-specific theatre inspired by Hamilton's historic textile industry in honour of Labour Day weekend!
Celebrate local history starting with a Walking Tour that explores downtown industrial and labour history sites, with a focus on textile manufacturing led by Katherine Roy using our <A HREF="http://www.workerscity.ca" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Workers' City</A> app. Each walking tour will culminate in a short performance of the play One Small Drop, performed by local theatre artists Paula Grove and Kelly Wolf, featuring Violet Gould. This program is free to the public, and all are welcome!
One Small Drop is a piece of collectively-created theatre using text from personal accounts of women who are part of Hamilton’s labour history. The performance explores a few of the intertwined stories of women in Hamilton's textile industry.  Music and sound transport the viewer as we invite the audience to witness the personal and private thoughts of women from three different eras. This original piece was created for the Frostbites Festival at The Cotton Factory.  One Small Drop has been generously supported by the City of Hamilton Enrichment Fund.
