Scene + Heard SCORED is a project, funded by the City of Victoria, that connects the oldest form of storytelling with some of the most modern. Following up on sold out performances in 2008 and 2010, this third incarnation of PUENTE Theatre and CineVic: Society of Independent Filmmakers' project is the next phase of a collaboration project between six local filmmakers, six traditional oral storytellers, and local musician Oliver Swain. Each story is either a traditional story or is the tellers own personal expression illuminating an experience of multiculturalism.

Emergence
Written & performed by: Krystal Cook
Dramaturged & directed by: Lina de Guevara
Soundscape by: Enrique Rivas
Masks by: Miles Lowry.
Emergence is the journey of poet Krystal Cook, a Kwakwaka'wakw woman from the Namgis territory of Alert Bay. She uses movement, mask, sound and spoken word to explore and celebrate the emergence of voice. Drawing from her life story, she reflects on and shares poignant experiences that have shaped and influenced her world view.
Emergence examines Krystal's role as a poet. The journey takes her from a tribal fishing village to the big city and investigates the spiritual tests and victories she encounters in her desire to become whole amidst colliding world views. The play speaks to and questions her experience with the residue left behind from Residential School.
