Tinged with Alison McCreesh’s signature blend of humour and humanity, Degrees of Separation is a story of the North and transformation. Following Alison’s personal journey from young adulthood to motherhood, the piece explores themes of connection, change, and anxiety told through the unique lens of a Northern life.
The Tin Can Collective’s new staged adaptation brings McCreesh’s story to life, celebrating lived experiences of the North and the impact of female friendships during these pivotal years, and featuring a score composed by Yellowknife’s own Grace Clark.
Formed in 2024, The Tin Can Collective is an emerging multidisciplinary performance collective, guided by new ideas, connection, and community-driven storytelling based in the NWT. The Tin Can Collective was formed by Gwenan Guillas-Letain, Kacie Hall, and Sophie Rivers.
