Alexa’s world is rocked after being placed in remedial reading and spelling classes at school. One dyslexia diagnosis later, we follow Alexa as she navigates school, discovers the internet, declares Shakespeare to be heresy and revives her love for words. Using dance, spoken word, and a few book references for good measure, Celexia is Alexa McGinn’s autobiographical ode to words and a declaration of our human desire to create and be heard. Performed at Victoria Fringe Festival 2023, Nexus Newspaper says, “Celexia is a work of art; moving, funny, and extremely engaging.”
Presented by Calgary Arts Development and performed at cSPACE Marda Loop’s Studio Theatre.
