Meet Anubis! Our jackal-headed friend that reminds us that dog is just god spelled backward! Drew Watkins plays this mighty figure with grace in PSYCHOPOMP.
Here's some insight from Drew about the space and his take on the Egyptian god.
1. What is something that delights you about your corner of McLaren Park?
The golden light passing through, over and around the trees keeps me inspired. It creates such a lovely contrast between light and shadow.
2. What is something that surprises you about your corner of McLaren?
The wind is listening to us all the time, and even responds on occasion. It will howl for minutes then still in a moment of emphasis. My ever present audience member.
3. What is something that you admire about your Psychopomp?
The playfulness of Anubis is the biggest surprise. This god of mummification and guardian of souls, really just wants to connect with the joy and the light of this world.
4. What is something that makes your Psychopomp joyful?
Anubis loves company. Working in isolation to makes the dog god eager for human interaction, and he perks up with excitement whenever he receives a visitor.
Don't miss your chance to meet Anubis and the other Psychopomps!
