from the Artists

Dec 1

“The Love Bubble Project is a beacon of hope on so many levels. This project brings high level Canadian artists of different genres together in an eye opening way, as the artists get to cross-pollinate, get out of their daily small spheres and be forced into spontaneous interaction. The Love Bubbles also pop up unexpectedly into high traffic areas and bring happiness to walk-bys and the unsuspecting public who are lambasted by rainbows, bubbles, music and dance.” Kasandra “La China”

“I’ve been very fortunate to be a part of the Love Bubble Project since day 1, and it has given me incredible opportunities to express my art while spreading love and joy on the street. It has brought me back to the root of why I do what I do. It has given me strength and courage to keep doing what I love. Artists are creators, activists and alchemists who turn obstacles into opportunities. I have witnessed the beautiful evolution of this Love Bubble Project since March modifying, adding, adjusting to ever-changing circumstances. I am so proud of what Small Stage has created and so grateful to be part of the creation. Thank you.” Ikue Ueno

“I have had the pleasure to collaborate as a dance artist in the Love Bubble project since March 2021. When everything has been postponed and cancelled this past year, this project held me as I moved through the uncertainty of this time allowing me to express and spread joy through my art. This project has been a container for bringing artists from different artistic communities together to pop up in unexpected areas of Vancouver to bring happiness and joy to the public. Thriving off of the collaborative energy and feeling the hope has been nourishing for my mind and body. Small Stage’s ability to transform obstacles into generative possibilities is inspiring and innovative.” Jennifer Aoki

“It was such an amazing experience to be a part of such an engaging and family friendly community event! Nothing brings people together like live music, dancing and bubbles!!!! What an amazing sight to see people gathering around (at a fair distance) and finally enjoying the things we’ve all been missing for so long! The colours and the organization of the events were all so captivating, it not only made my job easy, but drew people in with such ease.” Krystle Dos Santos
