North Barn Theatre was formed in the Spring of 2020 by Laura Stinson and Ian McFarlane in the Ohio Valley, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. McFarlane and Stinson are theatre makers, scenographers and puppeteers who have worked internationally across the United States, Canada and Europe with companies such as Bread and Puppet Theater, the Canadian Academy of Mask and Puppetry, and The River Clyde Pageant. As visual artists and material-based performers we aim to engage in design-led creative processes that promote interdisciplinary collaboration and community advocacy. Our vision is to provoke thought around critical social and ecological issues by using playful imagery and public spectacle. We work from the belief that art is nourishment and should be available to everyone.
