She Won't Come in from the Fields - a live performance and conversation with Dale Colleen Hamilton

She Won’t Come in from the Fields
a 30-minute one-woman show and conversation about regenerative farming and climate solutions written & performed by Dale Colleen Hamilton
A feisty farm woman
is fed up with the conventional way her son is farming the family land.
That’s why she’s staging a one-woman protest,
refusing to come in from the fields until he agrees to try farming regeneratively.
In the process, it hits home to both of them that working together
is the best way to regenerate their farm and help mitigate climate change.
The performance will be followed by an optional conversation with the audience focusing on challenges and solutions in sustainable food production and food security, exploring ways to dovetail different approaches for the benefit of farmers, consumers and the planet.
Dale has been writing and producing theatre for over forty years and comes from a 6-generations-deep farm family in southwestern Ontario.
In the 1990s she was elected to Eramosa Township Council and appointed to the provincial Farm Products Appeal Tribunal. She is a supporter of Farmers for Climate Solutions, a member of Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario and has a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University, where she focused her research on regenerative farming and arts-based environmental education.
DALE STRONGLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO INVITE A FARMER/GARDENER WHO USES NON-REGENERATIVE FOOD-GROWING METHODS TO ATTEND A PERFORMANCE WITH YOU, RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT “SINGING TO THE CHOIR”.
