Projects in Development

Everyone is Interesting

Inspired by our internationally acclaimed social acupuncture workshops and performances, Everyone is Interesting is a community-focused project that aims to explore, engage with, and unite the individuals who visit the Toronto Islands.

Over the course of this 45-minute neighbourhood tour, our artists will guide the audience throughout the public spaces of Toronto Islands to meet, play with, and get to know the strangers they inhabit the city with, to prove the universal truth that Everyone is Interesting.

The project will take place as part of Doors Open Toronto on May 25 & 26, 2024.

Free registration will be available from May 1st.

The Book of Spin (2024/25)

The Book of Spin compiles various “recipes” intended to inspire game-like small experiences performed telephonically (aka: “spins”) that will take place in the real world, providing instructions for groups of audience members to wander their neighbourhoods and engage with the world around them.

The Book of Spin will contain instructions, templates and spins written by Mammalian artists, to be published in Volume 4 of Wonder Fool’s ‘Positive Stories for Negative Times’ in 2024/25. 

Produced by Mammalian Diving Reflex
Conceived by Fjoralba Qerimaj, Chiara Prodi & Darren O’Donnell

The Book of Spin is supported by The Canada Council’s Co-Production grant.
