About this episode

Janine Marley interviews Natalia Bushnik and Kathleen Welch about their Horror Theatre Festival 'Dead of Winter'.

Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 2 of A View from the Box - The Podcast. I'm so excited to have Natalia Bushnik and Kathleen Welch back on the show to talk about their new Horror Theatre Festival "Dead of Winter" Founded by Natalia Bushnik and Kathleen Welch in 2021, spindle collective formed through our shared passion in the telling of original, immersive, horror-theatre works. Based in what is colonially known as Toronto, we believe in working collaboratively in the space to create a cohesive world by interweaving storytelling devices and site-specific creation. Pulling inspiration from folklore around the world, we are committed to confronting the uncomfortable.
