TNB: Bluebirds by Vern Thiessen 🐦

November 1, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – November 6, 2022 @ 9:30 pm

Bluebirds is set in Étaples, France, 1918. Nurses Christy, Maggie, and Bab have crossed oceans to care for wounded Canadian soldiers in the Great War. Despite the terrible injuries they must deal with, they manage to stay hopeful as the dangers of the front draw closer to their hospital. Through it all, the three women find friendship, independence, power, and influence in a place where men, once again, are trying to destroy the world.

Queens, Clowns, and Fools: Performing with Audiences with Pearle Harbour aka Justin Miller. Solo Chicken Productions, Groundworks Workshops

Queens, Clowns, and Fools: Performing with Audiences 👑🤡🃏

October 19, 2022 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Queens, Clowns and Fools is an introduction to pathways for new work creation that address, invokes, or involves an audience’s presence directly into performance.

Queens, Clowns, and Fools: Performing with Audiences with Pearle Harbour aka Justin Miller. Solo Chicken Productions, Groundworks Workshops

As taught by multi-award-winning drag clown Justin Miller (aka Pearle Harbour), this class aims to equip its participants with the skills to tear down (or at least peek around) the fourth wall, tap into their impulse and imagination, and open themselves up to the risk, surprise, and love that can arise when performers authentically listen to their audience, and respond urgently to hug the calamity in the room.   

Using tenants of Pochinko clown, bouffon, direct address, cabaret, commedia dell’arte, butoh, and contemporary drag, participants will tap into a presentational form that is both ancient and entirely in the moment.   

This class is ideal for actors, drag queens, comedians, clowns, storytellers, solo- and interdisciplinary-performers, lecturers, anyone who has the courage to stand in front of someone else and entertain with both their wits and their heart. 

When: Wednesday, October 19th, 2022 , 6:30PM – 9:30PM 

Location: Black Box Theatre, James Dunn Hall, St. Thomas University, Fredericton, NB

Cost: FREE

Partnerships:  In partnership with The Fredericton Playhouse, Solo Chicken Productions, The Office of Experiential Learning and The Plain Site Theatre Festival.

The Whispers is a solo physical performance, that brings a personal journey of colonialism to life. It’s a response to both the colonial and current perspective of being black using storytelling, poetry, sarcasm, music, and body movement. Mbene Mwambene traces his family history, asking is a modern Black man free to choose who he becomes? What does it mean to decolonize oneself when living in Europe? What does it mean to have a name?

The Whispers has been performed at Schlachthaus Theater Bern, Konstanz University, Theater Konstanz, Schwankhalle in Bremen, Theater am Lend Graz, Lichthoft Theater Hamburg und Stadthaus Ulm. The German version “Das Flüstern” was presented at LurUPina – Zirkusfestival Hamburg and at the Jahrmarkttheater Bostelwiebeck.

Harvey is a six-foot-tall rabbit invisible to everyone, except Mr Elwood P Dowd.

In order to save the family’s social reputation, Elwood’s sister, Vita, decides to bring an end to Harvey and have Elwood committed but the tables turn when the doctors mistakenly commit the anxiety-ridden Vita instead.

Elwood—and Harvey—slip out of the hospital unbothered, setting off a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone in town tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit friend.

CBC Massey Lectures- Tomson Highway

In this brilliant, jubilant Massey Lecture, one of the world’s most treasured Indigenous creators provides spectacular insights into the glory and anguish of life.

An exhilarating tour through Christian, classical, and Cree mythologies reveals their contributions to Western thought, life, and culture—and how North American Indigenous mythologies provide unique, timeless solutions to our modern problems.

Tickets:

Regular- $28.50

Student /Senior- $19.50
