Comprised of Marion Samuel-Stevens, soprano, Owen Bloomfield, piano/composer, Tilly Kooyman, clarinet and Rae Crossman, actor/poet, SlanT performs works that are inspired by the natural world and often feature original text and music. The artists in this interdisciplinary ensemble each bring a different approach to their projects and work together collaboratively to create unique and memorable performances.
The four artists of SlanT have collaborated on many previous projects from performances on a lake at dawn or in a forest at dusk, to traditional classical works, as well as innovative cutting-edge experimental works. Their repertoire consists of performance pieces of various combinations that utilize the multiple talents of each member. That allows for a vast range of possibilities: a poet and a clarinetist interact in an original theatrical work; the poet then becomes a storyteller in a wild tale of deceit; a singer then transforms into a dancer in a dramatic stage presentation about psychological turmoil. The audience experiences intrigue and humour, anger and awe. SlanT refracts emotion through the full spectrum.

"SlanT immediately impressed me with their artistic integrity, using the language of words, music, and movement to great expressive effect. Through their communicative powers, I felt eased from existential solitude. "
