Monster

Created by the Monster Collective
Concept and Direction by Stephanie Graham

The Monster Collective is made up of fifteen artists that are interested in the creation of new musicals, especially ones that use dance and movement as a primary storytelling device.

Supported through the Strategic Funds Digital Now Initiative through the Canada Council of the Arts, the Monster Collective premiered this developmental segment short film of what will become a longer theatrical work.

The MONSTER in the piece is the embodiment of our subconscious mind who does not disagree with each one of us. It accepts whatever we say to ourselves and seeks to make it fact. Blocking us from our truth.
