McIntryeCreek

Nicole Schafenacker’s version of When by Wren Brian was created in collaboration with the Yukon Chapter of the environmental organization Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and their campaign to protect a vital wildlife corridor, McIntrye Creek or Chasán Chúa, that passes through Whitehorse, YT, Canada on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council. When brings together field recordings from McIntrye Creek/Chasàn Chùa, original music and text to create an otherworldly blending of human and non-human voices. This iteration of the project also features a movement performance within an installation created for Nakai Theatre’s annual Pivot festival in Whitehorse, YT.
