Kordazone Theatre

KORDA TAKES SHAKESPEARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Korda Artistic Productions is preparing to boldly go where no double bill has gone before:  on April 8, Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus will open, for a 2 weekend run.  But the production has a twist:  the plays, each pared down to about an hour and a quarter, are being presented as long lost episodes of everyone’s favourite sci-fi TV show!  In The Comedy of Errors, and transporter accident splits the captain and his ensign into two aler egos, and then beams the halves down to two warring planets.  Will the ever-logical first officer be able to reunite them before it’s too late?  In Titus Andronicus, an ancient alien culture’s warped sense of honour leads to horror and bloody tragedy, as a wronged enemy queen takes her gruesome vengence on a great warrior and his family.  Broad farce and Senecan tragedy, both on the same program: a challenge for any acting company, but Korda has never shied away from a challenge.

The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus play April 8, 9, 14, 15 & 16 at 8:00, and Sunday April 10 at 2:00.  Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for students & seniors;  Thursday April 14 is Pay What You Can.  Tickets are available at the door, and at Nancy Johns Gallery and Framing.

The Kordazone Theatre is located at 2520 Seminole in Windsor,  one block east of Walker Road.

Check www.kordazone.com or call 519-562-3394 for more info.  Members of the press who wish to attend the make-up tutorial are asked to please let us know in advance.

NAP Youth Girls

A progressive and creative way of looking at settlement is by way of engaging in theatric performance and other art forms. The Newcomer Art Project (NAP) at Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women (WWWWIW) has been dealing in just this area for a little bit than over a year.Settlement through the Arts, describe Chris Rabideau, Drama Facilitator at the NAP Program, is a powerful vehicle that awakens newcomer youth girls to themselves and to each other. Rabideau, also a high school supply teacher at many schools in the city and an advocate for under privileged youth, has been working with different disenfranchised groups of high school aged students helping them tackle issues of bullying, racism and xenophobia. He does all this through using the technique of process drama which assists in drawing from their hurtful experiences.  After talking about their stories and collecting them the group embarks upon writing these in play form and then acting them out, engaging audiences and bringing social justice issues to the forefront.

What does this have to do with settlement you might ask?  It builds confidence, teamwork, critical thinking, friendship and language skills amongst many others, answers NAP Coordinator, Sophia Bittar.

Just past its 1^st birthday, NAP has already had 4 groups of newcomer girls, about 100 girls total, go through this process. NAP’s latest performance,Flight 13 will be performed twice at 2:00 PM and 7 PM on Saturday, April 16^th at the Downtown Mission Theatre on Victoria Ave. The performance is about a newcomer girl faced with bullying. It promises to be an exceptional show.

Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women is a non-for-profit settlement agency assisting newcomer and refugee women and their families become full and participating members of Canadian society. For almost 30 years, WWWWIW has been responsive to the needs of newcomers in the Windsor community and proactive in how settlement services are run, using innovative ways to support newcomers in their integration process.

The NAP program is a cutting edge project that promises to empower newcomer youth girls (age 14 – 24 years) through the arts. NAP features homework support in both Canada’s official languages, community building and art initiative programming, assisting newcomer youth girls reach their fullest potential.

This ISAP Youth Program is Funded by the Government of Canada through Citizenship and Immigration.

Artcite

Artcite Gallery Windsor’s Artist-Run Centre for the Contemporary Arts Presents:
“ARTSEEN 13 – SHELF LIFE”
Continuing through April 23 at Artcite Gallery
109 University Ave. W.
Windsor, ON, N9A 5P4
t: 519.977.6564

Artcite Gallery hours: Wed-Sat, Noon – 5:00 or by appointment.
Gallery admission and Reception always Free.The public is encouraged to attend.

A fur-covered shelf! One of 60 in the show!

“ARTSEEN 13 – SHELF LIFE”

60 artists have hung their shelf-creations on Artcite’s walls – working the idea and the materiality of “the shelf” in a show that pushes the boundaries of the creative process:
Objets d’art, objets d’artiste, Duchampian “ready-mades” (that make ‘dada’ proud),SHELVED ideas! Think OUTSIDE the shelf! Think ON the shelf! Think ABOUT the shelf!

In past years, Artcite’s ARTSEEN was a showcase of experimental and ‘site-specific’ art works held in in old factory spaces and other decommissioned” buildings.

Windsor and Detroit area artists presented new and in-process works in all media (visual art, video, multi-media, installation and performance), working with the themes and materials suggested by the sites. (See www.artcite.ca/seen.html for past Artseens)
Due to difficulties in securing donated vacant building spaces ( as well as utilities, heat and insurance costs), Artseen was “shelved” for the last 5 years. But now Artseen is back (!) with a more intimate and miniaturized theme: For our 2011 ARTSEEN (our lucky 13th!), “All the ARTSEEN world is a shelf!” (…on the wall…at Artcite).
We made up a pile of 23″ x 9″ pine shelves and distributed them to area artists to turn into original works for ARTSEEN 13 – SHELF LIFE!  The shelves are IN, and hanging on the walls!

Visitors can buy one (or many) of the shelf-works! “Artseen 13 – SHELF LIFE” is an exhibition AND a gallery FUN(d)raiser(R)(TM), so many of the shelves are up for grabs!
See ALL the shelves on our Flick set for the show:

This Week at Artspeak Gallery

“The Water Narratives” is an exhibition of current work by 3 local artists, A. G. Smith, Barbara Murawski and Elaine Carr. Work will be shown at the Arts Council Windsor and Region’s “Artspeak Gallery” located at 1942 Wyandotte Street East, in Windsor, Ontario.

Water is an intrinsic part of life, especially for those of us who live on the shores of the Great Lakes Waterway.

Everything we do, every journey we make is referenced to water.

Water is the background narrative to our lives. Water has been at the centre of the story of this country from its earliest history.

Beyond being an absolute necessity for life, water has meaning in all of our lives. To a fisher it is a source of livelihood. To a sailor it is a highway of endless possibilities. To a poet and an artist it is a subject of contemplation and reflection.

In this Exhibition three artists explore their personal and cultural relationship with water. In Elaine Carr’s work, water and land is shown from different perspectives, which exist simultaneously, are mediated by memory and transformed. For A.G. Smith, being near the water and on the water and building the vessels that make that possible have always been important in his life. In Barbara Murawskiʼs work, a play with water images and water idioms, endeavours to stimulate a sense of commonality with the viewer.

Title: The Water Narratives

Exhibition: March 27 to April 9th

Artists: Elaine Carr, Barbara Murawski, A. G. Smith

Think&Drink: Share. Socialize.

On March 30th, 2011 at 7pm at Phog Lounge we’re launching a brand new initiative aimed at getting artists together and funding new projects!

---

Think&Drink is a new monthly discussion night hosted by our board member, the infamous Zeke Moores, which will connect local emerging and established artists.

That’s not all though…

Every few months, we’ll also host an event called CAAASH (Community Art Awards Around Social Hour). You’ve heard of this before — think about FEAST, SOUP, and Phog Philanthropy — basically, micro-grants for artists.

The goal is simple: help artists connect with one another and fund their projects.

At CAAASH, artists will be invited to make a 5-minute grant pitch. At the end of the night, everyone will be invited to participate in a silent vote, and the winner(s) will walk away with the cash that night. And the $5 cover charge at every Think&Drink builds the grant money pot and 100% of it gets handed over to the winning artist(s).

If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Visual Artists, Musicians, Performing Artists, Designers, Filmmakers, we want to see you there!!!

This Week at Artspeak Gallery

“The Water Narratives” is an exhibition of current work by 3 local artists, A. G. Smith, Barbara Murawski and Elaine Carr. Work will be shown at the Arts Council Windsor and Region’s “Artspeak Gallery” located at 1942 Wyandotte Street East, in Windsor, Ontario.

Water is an intrinsic part of life, especially for those of us who live on the shores of the Great Lakes Waterway.

Everything we do, every journey we make is referenced to water.

Water is the background narrative to our lives. Water has been at the centre of the story of this country from its earliest history.

Beyond being an absolute necessity for life, water has meaning in all of our lives. To a fisher it is a source of livelihood. To a sailor it is a highway of endless possibilities. To a poet and an artist it is a subject of contemplation and reflection.

In this Exhibition three artists explore their personal and cultural relationship with water. In Elaine Carr’s work, water and land is shown from different perspectives, which exist simultaneously, are mediated by memory and transformed. For A.G. Smith, being near the water and on the water and building the vessels that make that possible have always been important in his life. In Barbara Murawskiʼs work, a play with water images and water idioms, endeavours to stimulate a sense of commonality with the viewer.

Title: The Water Narratives

Exhibition: March 27 to April 9th

Reception April 1st, 7-11 pm

Artists: Elaine Carr, Barbara Murawski, A. G. Smith

Stitch’n'Bitch and ATC Monthly Get-Together. Our monthly get-together will be at Ten Thousand Villages, 624 Chilver Ave. off Wyandotte, on Thursday March 31, 6:30-9:00p.m.

You still have time to make some Mayday inspired Artist Trading Cards for our MayWorks Exhibit and Giant Trade. There are quilt packages available for the Mayworks Cooperation Quilt.

If you need some help I will be happy to assist. The completed blocks are due in April 15, 2011. If you are on the fence about this project please consider this. I read somewhere that Cooperation = Love and we are going to need a lot of both to fix what’s wrong in the world, the cooperation quilt could be a good place to start. With all that said if you just want a little escape to kick back with your knitting that’s cool too. No pressure, OK, little pressure. Hope to see you there!

Free admission & all welcome

Refreshments available

Bring your own materials and tools(knitting needles, crochet hooks,sewing machines, yarn fabric etc.)

“S’nB” is a social event with the opportunity to share ideas, conversation and techniques with others.

University Players

University Players ends season with modern masterpiece

University Players brings its 52^nd Season in 2010-11 to a close with Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia. The play runs March 31-April 3 and April 6-10, 2011 at Essex Hall Theatre.

Hailed as “a masterpiece!” by The Daily Telegraph, this witty comedy is both a breath of fresh air and a feast of ideas. In 1809, a 13-year old mathematical genius comes up with a revolutionary theory in her family’s English manor house. 180 years later and in the same house, a group of modern scholars piece together her life story and find, for themselves, the truth of her astounding theory – a theory that tugs at the heart as well as the mind.

“Tom Stoppard’s brilliance with language and pace, and the tenderness with which he treats his characters, is all here,” says the play’s director, faculty member Brian Taylor. “He has written a comedy in which some very large ideas are examined: the nature of human mortality, and more particularly, what is important about being alive.”

Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. On Sunday, April 3, a “Talk Back” discussion with the director and actors will follow the performance. Tickets are $18-$20. Essex Hall Theatre is located on the University of Windsor campus.

For information or tickets, call 519-253-3000, ext. 2808 or visit www.UniversityPlayers.com.

This cult classic is directed by Brian Raisbeck, showcasing Music Express with Musical Director, Nino Palazzolo, and with choreography by Corey Mariuz.

Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?

Audiences of all ages will be dazzled by this spectacular musical! Ticket prices are $28 to $30. To order tickets, call the Chrysler Theatre Box Office at (519) 252-6579

Windsor International Film Festival

Thursday, April 7th

Another Year – 6:30 pm

United Kingdom; 2010; Director: Mike Leigh; 129 minutes;  English

Presented at seasonal intervals, making up the year of the title, the action is set largely in the suburban London home of Gerri (Ruth Sheen) and her husband Tom (Jim Broadbent). They seem to have the perfect, mutually supportive marriage, but their cozy situation belies that of those around them. Tom’s boyhood friend Ken (Peter Wight) is an overweight alcoholic who hates his job and his life; and Mary (Lesley Manville), Gerri’s work colleague, is a glass-half-full depressive.

An eloquent story of narrowing options and fading hopes in life’s later years, Leigh addresses themes of class, family and depres­sion with humour and humanity. Loaded with excellent dialogue, compelling characters and a director with a knack of making the ordinary extraordinary, Another Year is a triumph.

Rabbit Hole - 9:15 pm

USA; 2010; Director: John Cameron Mitchell; 91 minutes; English

Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart play Becca and Howie Corbett, a couple trying to mourn, but unsure how to do it. They have retreated into politeness and private rituals, appearing more and more isolated in their upper middle-class home, which looks especially barren now that their young son is gone after a hit-and-run tragedy. Unable to mourn but unready to re-enter daily life, Becca rebuffs her family, snapping at her more reckless sister and humiliating her mother (Dianne Wiest) every chance she gets. As Howie makes genuine efforts to connect, Becca begins to pursue a course even she doesn’t understand.

KORDA TAKES SHAKESPEARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Korda Artistic Productions is preparing to boldly go where no double bill has gone before:  on April 8, Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus will open, for a 2 weekend run.  But the production has a twist:  the plays, each pared down to about an hour and a quarter, are being presented as long lost episodes of everyone’s favourite sci-fi TV show!  In The Comedy of Errors, and transporter accident splits the captain and his ensign into two aler egos, and then beams the halves down to two warring planets.  Will the ever-logical first officer be able to reunite them before it’s too late?  In Titus Andronicus, an ancient alien culture’s warped sense of honour leads to horror and bloody tragedy, as a wronged enemy queen takes her gruesome vengence on a great warrior and his family.  Broad farce and Senecan tragedy, both on the same program: a challenge for any acting company, but Korda has never shied away from a challenge.

Both plays are directed by Korda’s Resident Director Jeff Marontate, who has been planning for this science fiction take on the bard’s work for more than a year.  He has edited (and in the case of Comedy, slightly adapted) the scripts for this performance.  The plays are produced by Tracey Atin, with costumes by J.P. Watters and Kelly Ridley, and alien make-up design by Jordan Cabral.  Set design is by Marontate and Daniel Nolin.  Alexandra Spirou has choreographed a dance, and Ian Bruno has blocked the combat scenes.

The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus play April 8, 9, 14, 15 & 16 at 8:00, and Sunday April 10 at 2:00.  Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for students & seniors;  Thursday April 14 is Pay What You Can.  Tickets are available at the door, and at Nancy Johns Gallery and Framing.

The Kordazone Theatre is located at 2520 Seminole in Windsor,  one block east of Walker Road.

Check www.kordazone.com or call 519-562-3394 for more info.  Members of the press who wish to attend the make-up tutorial are asked to please let us know in advance.

Gibson Gallery

The Shores of Erie Wine Festival Planning Committee has approached the Gibson Gallery requesting that the Gallery host an “Arts Tent” at the 7th Annual Shores of Erie Wine Festival.  The festival attracts some 20,000 visitors to Amherstburg’s Fort Malden National Historic Site on the Detroit River and last year, 3-day passes and Saturday tickets sold out well in advance of the festival dates.

At this point the Gibson Gallery is investigating the feasibility of hosting a Galleries Tent at the SOE Wine Festival.  As a volunteer with the Gibson Gallery, I have been asked to write to Windsor and Essex County galleries to determine if there is sufficient interest in renting space in our tent at the upcoming wine festival.  We see this as an excellent opportunity for area galleries to showcase art, sell merchandise, and promote services. As such, I am writing today to solicit your feedback. We have limited information at this time as we are in the early planning stages, but if there enough interest is generated, we will follow up with additional information and a rental application.

Dates:                September 10th and 11th
Exhibit Time:        12:00 to 7:00 pm.
Space:                10 X 10 (approx)
Rental Fee:        $300

Based on the information provided, do you think your gallery/studio may be interested in renting space in the Gibson Gallery hosted “Galleries Tent” at the Shores of Erie Wine Festival on September 10th and 11th?

“ARTSEEN 13 – SHELF LIFE”

Due to difficulties in securing donated vacant building spaces ( as well as utilities, heat and insurance costs), Artseen was “shelved” for the last 5 years. But now Artseen is back (!) with a more intimate and miniaturized theme: For our 2011 ARTSEEN (our lucky 13th!), “All the ARTSEEN world is a shelf!” (…on the wall…at Artcite).

Up to 100 artists will hang their shelf-creations on Artcite’s walls – working the idea and the materiality of “the shelf” in a show that will push the boundaries of the creative process: objets d’art, objets d’artiste, Duchampian “ready-mades” (that make ‘dada’ proud),  SHELVED ideas! Think OUTSIDE the shelf! Think ON the shelf! Think ABOUT the shelf!

Visitors can buy one (or many) of the shelf-works! “Artseen 13 – SHELF LIFE” is an exhibition AND a gallery FUN(d)raiser(R)(TM), so many of the shelves are up for grabs!

For further information on this, or any Artcite event, please contact:

Mar 24 2011 – 7:00pm in the Freed Orman Center at the University of Windsor

Distinguished Speakers Series presents Jed Rasula, University of Georgia at Athens. “A Telephone from the Beyond: iPod Wagnerism”

For nearly fifty years, the phenomenon of “Wagnerism” convulsed western society in a steady crescendo of intoxicating slogans – “Leitmotiv,” “endless melody,” “music of the future,” “total art work” – like so many keys to unlock the mysteries of inwardness. We now inhabit a world in which music inhabits us, delivered intravenously through portable devices like the iPod. Is this realm of constant musical stimulus and solace a social contract or an irreversible plunge into universal solipsism? Looking back at Wagnerism will help us face the question.

Windsor Symphony Orchestra

Romantic Miniatures by Beethoven, Bartok, Nielsen, Wagner Violinist Konstantin Popovic plays Beethoven as WSO presents a selection of Maestro Russell’s favourite romantic compositions at Intimate Classics concerts in Windsor, Leamington and Tecumseh.

WSO Assistant Concertmaster Konstantin Popovic is the featured soloist in Beethoven’s Romance no.1 in G major and no. 2 in F major, as the Windsor Symphony Orchestra performs a range of works by Bartok, Revueltas, Nielsen and celebrated Canadian composer Marjan Mozetich.

The final piece in the programme, Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll, is quintessentially romantic. It was composed as a birthday present for his second wife Cosima, illegitimate daughter of Franz Liszt, former wife of conductor Hans von Bulow, and mother of Wagner’s first son, Siegfried. Many of the themes in the composition will be familiar to opera enthusiasts, as they are derived from the joyous music in the famous love scene in Wagner’s Siegfried, the third opera in his Ring Cycle.

The first two of four performances will take place at Assumption University Chapel on Friday, March 25, 2011, at 11: a.m. and 7:30 p.m. This is the fourth of five concerts in this season’s Morris & Beverly Baker Foundation Intimate Classics Series.

The performances are dedicated to the memory of Armando De Luca.

The WSO will perform the concert again on Saturday, March 26, in Leamington, at Leamington United Mennonite Church and on Sunday, March 7, in Tecumseh at St. Anne’s Church.

The Tecumseh concert is jointly sponsored by Windsor Chapel Funeral Home Limited and Heavenly Rest Family of Catholic Cemeteries.

Tickets range from $10 to $30 and are available at the Windsor Symphony Box Office (487 Ouellette Avenue), by phone at 519 973 1238 extension 16, online at mywso.ca or at the door at each venue.

Think&Drink: Share. Socialize.

Think&Drink is a new monthly discussion night hosted by our board member, the infamous Zeke Moores, which will connect local emerging and established artists.

That’s not all though…

Every few months, we’ll also host an event called CAAASH (Community Art Awards Around Social Hour). You’ve heard of this before — think about FEAST, SOUP, and Phog Philanthropy — basically, micro-grants for artists.

The goal is simple: help artists connect with one another and fund their projects.

At CAAASH, artists will be invited to make a 5-minute grant pitch. At the end of the night, everyone will be invited to participate in a silent vote, and the winner(s) will walk away with the cash that night. And the $5 cover charge at every Think&Drink builds the grant money pot and 100% of it gets handed over to the winning artist(s).

If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Visual Artists, Musicians, Performing Artists, Designers, Filmmakers, we want to see you there!!!

KORDA Artistic Productions

KORDA TAKES SHAKESPEARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Korda Artistic Productions is preparing to boldly go where no double bill has gone before:  on April 8, Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus will open, for a 2 weekend run.  But the production has a twist:  the plays, each pared down to about an hour and a quarter, are being presented as long lost episodes of everyone’s favourite sci-fi TV show!  In The Comedy of Errors, and transporter accident splits the captain and his ensign into two aler egos, and then beams the halves down to two warring planets.  Will the ever-logical first officer be able to reunite them before it’s too late?  In Titus Andronicus, an ancient alien culture’s warped sense of honour leads to horror and bloody tragedy, as a wronged enemy queen takes her gruesome vengence on a great warrior and his family.  Broad farce and Senecan tragedy, both on the same program: a challenge for any acting company, but Korda has never shied away from a challenge.

Both plays are directed by Korda’s Resident Director Jeff Marontate, who has been planning for this science fiction take on the bard’s work for more than a year.  He has edited (and in the case of Comedy, slightly adapted) the scripts for this performance.  The plays are produced by Tracey Atin, with costumes by J.P. Watters and Kelly Ridley, and alien make-up design by Jordan Cabral.  Set design is by Marontate and Daniel Nolin.  Alexandra Spirou has choreographed a dance, and Ian Bruno has blocked the combat scenes.

In addition to directing, Jeff Marontate has been creating many of the creature props and masks which will be used in the plays.  Alien  dogs and their monstrous prey feature in a hunting scene in Titus, and later in the play the empress and her two sons don masks to disguise themselves as gods of Revenge, Murder and Rape.  Marontate has also been working closely with his designers to make sure every detail is as he’s envisioned it.

On Sunday April 27 at 3:00, Jordan Cabral will be leading the cast in a make-up tutorial at the theatre, to teach the actors how to apply their detailed facial appliances to transform them into alien beings.  All cast members in Titus Andronicus wear alien make-ups, ranging from pointed ears and slanted eyebrows to ridged bony foreheads and blue antennae.  On performance days, the cast will have only 20 minutes, the length of the intermission, to apply the make-up.  Many of the actors play aliens of different planets in The Comedy of Errors, adding to the pressure to make a fast change bewteen shows.  Members of the press are welcome to attend this tutorial.

The same 18 actors play roles in both shows.  The cast includes Tracey Atin as the Abbess and Tamora, Jeffery Bastien as The Science Officer and Saturninus, Jen Brodie as the Courtesan and a Goth soldier, Ian Bruno as BOTH the Tiberius twins and Bassianus, Isaac Butler as Angelo and Alarbus, Jordan Cabral as Nell and the Nurse, Kristen Dias-Lamoure as Adriana and Sempronia, Andrew Filice as BOTH the Pavel twins and Demetrius, Matt Froese as the Second  Merchant and the Peasant, Bart Hoxha as Balthazar and Lucius, Cameron Iler as Young Lucius, Greg Iler as the Duke and Marcus Andronicus, Fay Lynn as Luciana and Lavinia, Dan McDonald as an Officer and Aaron, Jeff Marontate as the Doctor and Aemilius, Jon Peladeau as the Executioner and Publius, Jonathan Tessier as the Jailer and Chiron, and Dean Valentino as the First Merchant and Titus Andronicus.

The Comedy of Errors and Titus Andronicus play April 8, 9, 14, 15 & 16 at 8:00, and Sunday April 10 at 2:00.  Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for students & seniors;  Thursday April 14 is Pay What You Can.  Tickets are available at the door, and at Nancy Johns Gallery and Framing.

The Kordazone Theatre is located at 2520 Seminole in Windsor,  one block east of Walker Road.

Check www.kordazone.com or call 519-562-3394 for more info.  Members of the press who wish to attend the make-up tutorial are asked to please let us know in advance.

Workshop #1. Plexiglas drypoint etching workshop with Vanessa Cornell

Vanessa will demonstrate a drypoint printmaking technique using plexiglas. Drypoint etching involves scratching a design into the surface of your plate using needles, sandpaper or other materials to incise the surface. When the plate is inked, it collects in the grooves and burrs and when the print is transferred to paper the drypoint lines are left behind. All materials provided.

Date: Friday, April 8, 2011

Start & End Times: 10am-12 OR 6-9pm

Prices: $25(membership discounts available) All materials included
register ASAP by calling 354-8338 or visiting www.thecultralcentre.com

Workshop #2. Collagraph with Vanessa Cornell

The freedom of collagraph relief printmaking gives many creative possibilities. If you can ink it, you can print it! Found objects from nature, like dried fruit, leaves or even flattened street trash can be combined with painterly marks from glues and gesso to create a collage plate. These plates can be pressed without inking to make an embossing or inked and run through the press. There are two workshop times for this class, a morning class and an evening class. All materials included.

Date: Friday, May 6, 2011

Start & End Times: 10am-12 OR 6-9pm

Prices: $25(membership discounts available) All materials included
register ASAP by calling 354-8338 or visiting www.thecultralcentre.com

Workshop #3. Relief Printing

Linocut is a printmaking technique in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge to create an image. The raised parts are then rolled up with ink and run through an etching press. The versatility of lino block allows the image created to be either very graphic or highly detailed depending on the desired effect. All materials included.

Date: Friday, June 3, 2011

This cult classic is directed by Brian Raisbeck, showcasing Music Express with Musical Director, Nino Palazzolo, and with choreography by Corey Mariuz.

Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?

Audiences of all ages will be dazzled by this spectacular musical! Ticket prices are $28 to $30. To order tickets, call the Chrysler Theatre Box Office at (519) 252-6579
