Seraph-Eden is a Red River Métis and Ashkenazi multidisciplinary artist, consultant, facilitator, and trainer.
In addition to her visual arts practice, she has been a traditional Métis dancer for over 30 years and has worked both creatively and administratively in professional theatre, arts, and youth programming throughout her career.
Seraph-Eden studied Native Studies and Sociology at the University of Manitoba and uses her formal education, continuous knowledge-building, community guidance, lived experience, and observations to help organizations create safer spaces for workers and artists.
She also lends her support and skills to community groups and social justice causes with a focus on human rights, labour, colonial resistance movements, and cultural preservation.
Seraph currently lives in Winnipeg with her two children, loves to try new creative outlets and explore new ideas in the realms of history, politics, arts, and culture, and hopes to return to university soon to study archeology.
On October 4 we presented:
Art in Set Design: A Conversation with Set Designer Brian Perchaluk and Royal MTC’s Artistic Director Kelly Thornton
Moderated by Susan Freig
Theatre set design creates a believable world for the audience to sink into, engaging with the story, characters, and mood. The styles mirror familiar art movements such as Expressionism, which emphasizes the emotional experience of characters over a realistic depiction of their surrounding. The stage’s physical environment, often altered or distorted, uses lines and shapes such as uneven floors, slanting walls, or elongated forms to create a deep, gut-level experience for the audience, digging into the complexities of the human spirit and life. Brian and Kelly shared a selection of Royal MTC sets and discuss the relationship between set design, director’s vision, and production.
