It’s Complicated fuses theatre, poetry and digital arts, through an exploration of literature and video poetry. Two classrooms, one from the Polyvalente de Deux-Montagnes (francophone), the other from Beaconsfield High School (anglophone), have created video poems in their second-language on the theme of forbidden love. The students worked under the guidance of poet Jonathan Lamy, poet and artist Rachel McCrum, and actors Charles Buckell and Tara Sky.
Discover the winning teams of the It’s Complicated… contest!
These two winning teams were given $100 per student to finance a high-quality production of a bilingual video poem with a professional video poet. Videographer Camille Trudeau-Rivest will oversee the recording.
