JANUARY WORKSHOP
A Quote Unquote Collective and Nightwood Theatre Workshop
Saturday 18 – Sunday 19th January 2020 (10am – 4pm)
Toronto, ON (Nightwood Studio, Distillery District
15 Case Goods Lane)
Fusing Music and Physical Theatre - An exciting exploration into a new style of storytelling. This two-day workshop will be an intensive, rigorous exploration of how the performer in an empty space can use the body to create characters, spaces, emotions, poetry, atmospheres, and ultimately tell stories without words. Based on a Lecoq-style method we then translate physical theatre into a new realm enhanced and elevated through song. Using the concepts of harmony, dissonance, tone, resonance, and the composition of many voices working with or against each other, stories are built from sound to stage.
This workshop is open to theatre practitioners who want to bust out of their comfort zones and explore new ways of storytelling. We encourage artists who have an interest in Lecoq-based physical theatre, the devising method, vocal experimentation or who simply have a desire to push themselves beyond what they know.
The workshop will be facilitated by Amy Nostbakken and Norah Sadava.
Workshop cost: $300 +HST

STONEBOAT ARTS CENTRE
STONEBOAT FARM IS NOW OPEN FOR RENTALS
StoneBoat Arts Centre is a dreamy wonderland. Situated on 225 acres of land (gardens, hay fields, meadows, woods, ponds and more) in Lanark Country, Ontario. The property includes a farm house, a massive creation studio/barn (with sprung dance floor), three individual cabins, two mid-size barns and a workshop. (1.5 hours from Ottawa, 3.5 from Toronto, 20 mins from Perth or Westport)
Our beautiful farm is frankly, one of a kind. You don’t have to take our word for it. It’s the ideal space for weekend getaways, family reunions, working retreats, yoga retreats, theatre or dance rehearsals, conferences or if you just want a quiet place in nature to decide what you want to be when you grow up.
The list of artists who have made their work here is extensive: albums have been recorded, short films have been shot, novels written, thesis’ completed (!) photo shoots, lookbook shoots, scripts, theatre plays, paintings, quilting, leather work, choreography, yoga-teacher training. There is no shortage of inspiration. It’s got good vibes.
