February marked a milestone. As Skene celebrated its first year, from ghost light to global stage, readers reflected on how far the work had come and where it was headed. It was a month of anniversary and argument. Politics took the stage, as a look at the Super Bowl halftime as political theatre drew readers into performance as public power. Threaded through it was a widening world, Tina Torbey between structure and soul, Martina Bakst holding the sky by a single thread, and Canada’s stage set through CITT. Alongside them, the reliable pull of props and seating. A month of reflection, politics, and reach.
