Shumiatcher Sandbox Series

Created and performed by Kirsten Marie Rasmussen

MAY 5 - 14 | 2010

As the motivational speaker assumes the podium, you instinctively straighten up, your hands smarting from the force of your applause. You’ve been looking forward to this for months. You paid handsomely for this front-row seat, but you know it will be worth it. You need it to be worth it. She is your favourite self-help guru, your most voraciously read new-age author, your idol of enlightenment, your answer to every question. You can’t believe she’s right there in front of you.

What you don’t know is: She can’t believe it either. Your hero’s carefully prepared remarks are about to go out the window. And after tonight, neither one of you is going to be the same.

After extensive improv, clown and comedy work in Edmonton and Montreal, Saskatchewan-born Kirsten Marie Rasmussen is finally coming home to deliver a darkly hilarious look at the burgeoning self-help industry. Yet Blink Blink Blink is more than skeptical satire: it is an open-hearted exploration of the many selves that wrestle for supremacy in all of us. Grab your front-row seat for this entertaining and thought-provoking evening of comedy.
