Christine Bissonnette
Performance poet, poetry writing facilitator and Speech Arts coach at 9 Creative Lives Studio.
Vancouver, BC, Canada
I’m passionate about unleashing the creativity of my students through mindful and curiousity-focused instruction. My Speech Arts students have won first place in speech competitions at their school, taken home medals (like âthe outstanding acting awardâ and the âoutstanding monologue performance awardâ) at various festivals, and have received First Class Honours for their Speech Arts RCM Exams.
The students from my poetry writing workshops have received poetry fellowships, published chapbooks, won awards in literary magazines⌠and on many occasions those same students arrived in my class feeling blocked and unsure of their relationship to poetry. .
As a performer and writer, Iâve performed on stages all over Vancouver including opening for Danielle LaPorte as part of the Rise Womenâs Conference. My poem âRiseâ (written for that conference) was later featured by Downtown Vancouverâs Poetry Phone in order to uplift Vancouver audiences at the start of the pandemic. In 2019, I wrote, featured in, and co-produced a short film (Left Opened) that combined poetry, music, and dance to explore anxiety. The film toured film festivals internationally.
Most recently, I was featured in episode 1 of the STORYHIVE funded âHeal Through Poetryâ series. The 8 episode series will be released on Telus Optic and on Youtube on in September 2023
About this FieldTrip
As the sun sets over Vancouver, the undersurface of the Cambie Bridge is transformed into a wild river filled with migrating salmon. UNINTERRUPTED is the high-tech cinematic art installation taking hundreds of viewers nightly on a beautiful immersive journey that has been repeated in B.C. waters for millennia.
This cinematic spectacle is one of the most sophisticated digital projections worldwide. The complexity lies in its mix of live documentary footage, 3D projection mapping and location in a busy urban park. What it took to bring the park, the bridge, and the salmon together is a tale that also has a great cast of characters.
This FieldTrip will introduce you to some of the key creative team behind Uninterrupted, recognized by Wallpaper* magazine as one of the must-see outdoor installations for 2017. Nettie Wild, director, Betsy Carson & Rae Hull, producers and members of the production team will be present. You can also get a taste of the scope of the project here: uninterrupted.ca/creating-uninterrupted-stories-from-the-river-to-the-bridge
Please arrive at Coopersâ Park (Yaletown side of the Cambie Bridge) by 7:45pm to join the “tour”. Bring your questions and your own blankets so you can comfortably enjoy the show at 9pm!
About Uninterrupted
UNINTERRUPTED is a cinematic summer art installation that transforms Vancouverâs Cambie Bridge into a wild B.C. river â immersing audiences in the incredible journey of migrating sockeye salmon. Breathtaking cinematography from three B.C. rivers is digitally mapped and is projected on the underside of the bridge, along with an ambient, original soundtrack.

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
