Community artists Jenny Hale and Lisa Barker’s first iteration of Project Wild Edge, an immersive theater performance meant to explore the complicated nature of the wild urban interface, will take place from noon to 12:50 p.m. Saturday on the Wolf Creek Trail in Grass Valley.
The event coincides with the Bear Yuba Land Trust’s NatureFest, which will take place that same day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cascade Canal, Litton, Wolf Creek and Alan Thiesen trails.
Hale, Project Wild Edge’s co-creative director, said the first practice performance this weekend will give actor-dancers and viewers alike an opportunity to connect with the life and art source before the final performance takes place in spring 2022.
Like most working mums who care full-time for their kids, Courtney Pomare’s life can be a delicate tapestry. If one thread is pulled – no playgroup, no childcare, a sickness in the household, etc – a whole day can quickly unravel.
Auckland’s latest level 3 lockdown has pulled a thread for Pomare. Cancelled playgroup means no way to exhaust her toddler out for her afternoon nap, which hopefully coincides with her one-year-old’s nap, which is when Pomare does payroll for the business she runs with her husband, which is currently experiencing massive growth.

My 3-year-old son keeps getting out of bed and it can take an hour or so before he settles every night. I am on my own and the process of getting him to bed has worn me out. Some nights end in shouting and tears. I feel like I have tried it all.
Please help! Tired Mum.
