Do you enjoy speculative and/or science fiction? Curious about how communities might adapt and thrive in a changing world? Interested in exploring big ideas through creativity and storytelling? 

Join theatre artist and activist Evan Medd for two playful, free, imagination-fuelled evenings of collaborative climate-focused worldbuilding. Expect big ideas, small group magic, creative collaboration, and thoughtful conversation, all in a welcoming, low-pressure space. No writing or artistic experience is needed — just bring a notebook and your imagination!

What if the future isn’t something we wait for — but something we practice dreaming of together?

Free to register for one or both of these workshops taking place in the lobby of Song Sparrow Hall. Space is limited, so please register in advance!

April 1, 6 - 9 pm

April 2, 7 - 8:30 pm

Bio

Evan Medd (he/they) is a freelance dramaturg, theatre-maker, climate activist, and facilitator working across Turtle Island. His practice centers on dramaturgical process design, community-engaged art at the intersection of environmental dialogue, and collaborative new play development with the Alberta-based Major Matt Mason Collective, where he serves as Co-Artistic Director. Recently, Evan has developed and co-directed Flux In The City, an innovative participatory theatre experiment that premiered at the 2025 High Performance Rodeo, which allows audiences to playfully connect to their municipal hopes and dreams.

He is also currently researching The Bow River Boat Pageant, a community-driven, artistically-fuelled, river project with Mudfoot Theatre. Evan spearheads Dreaming Climate Consciousness, a collaborative worldbuilding process that imagines eco-conscious futures through speculative and science fiction, which has been applied in performance creation, environmental education, and community engagement. Passionate about using creative practice to expand conversation and imagination, Evan dramaturgically explores and interrogates the tensions that define our world.
