She first performed in the ALA Collective's performance art series as part of Live at the End of the Century. Marie Clements has worked in theatre for the last ten years as an actor, writer, and performer. Her recent multi-media work, Urban Tattoo has toured extensively. Her new play The Unnatural and Accidental Women will premiered at the Firehall in fall 2000. Dolores Dallas is a performer from the Cowichan nation. She has an extensive arts background working in film and video, theatre and visual art.Curator
