We would like to introduce our new Artists at Carnegie Centre, Strathcona Community Centre, and the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre!

Please join us in wishing a warm welcome to Amy Shostak, Jeff Gladstone, Veronica Berezowsky, and Mark Beaty. Amy & Jeff, who specialize in improvisation, are collaborating at Carnegie to create Improv Theatre for Older Adults. Veronica is a contemporary dance Artist with a community engaged arts practice and she’s been working with the group at Strathcona to create Moving Stories: Dance for Older Adults. Mark Beaty continues the work Leah Abramson began with the group at Roundhouse for the Sound & Song project. Catrina Longmuir  is using digital storytelling to help the Strathcona Puppeteers celebrate 13 years of shared art practice.

Sound and Song gave a terrific performance at the Roundhouse Association annual general meeting in late November. Take a moment to hear them sing!

The Strathcona Pupeteers worked their magic at Heart of the City Festival this fall. The delighted audience of 35 included community members and a young group of theatre-goers from Strathcona Elementary, who were excited to meet (and touch) the puppets after the showing.
