  • Arbez Drama Fringe 2017 Company Bios
    Arbez Drama Projects in association with The Toronto Fringe Festival 2017 THE OLD WOLF and the SACRED TROUT by Donald Molnar COMPANY HISTORY & BIOS Arbez Drama Projects Arbez Drama Projects is a not-for-profit theatre company based in Toronto. Our mandate is to pursue theatre projects that we feel passionate about. We create, develop, and produce new Canadian plays. The creation of our company is intimately connected to Sara's Cave by Donald Molnar, which was accepted into the City of Brampton’s 2nd Annual NewWorks Playwright Festival (2005). In order to produce the play, Donald Molnar, John Sader, and Alicia Payne created Arbez Drama Projects. Arbez Drama Projects now has several plays at various stages of development and has produced readings and workshop presentations at theatre festivals as well as social justice and academic conferences including: Readers’ Theatre of New Works at the National Black Theatre Festival, Winston Salem, North Carolina (2013 and 2015); 33rd Annual Teaching Public Administration Conference, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2010); Innocence Network Conference, at the South Texas College of Law, Houston, Texas (2009); and the rock.paper.sistahaz 7 festival, Toronto (2008). Anna Braumberger – Wolf Masks Anna Braumberger delights in the whimsical and bizzare which suits her very well in her work in the Vancouver Film industry set decoration department (IATSE Local 891). Having been professionally tasked in the last two years with everything from fabricating 80's neon art to occult decorated cow skulls for use in TV shows she still finds time for the occasional personal project. Starting in 2003 Anna began in a community Shakespeare group called "The Pressgang Theater Company" which worked every year on a shoestring budget to produce a play under the funding of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

  • Papa Haydn Soundtracks Live Valentine's Special
    Photographer: Lisa Marie Mazzucco Bella Hristova, violin PAPA HAYDN SOUNDTRACKS LIVE wso.ca I 204-949-3999 VALENTINE’S SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE WSO BOARD As the New Year begins, let me wish you all a very happy and healthy year. And, a musical year.What better way is there to bring happiness into your life than with music, especially the music of our own, fabulous WSO? I would like to introduce myself as the new President of the Board of Directors.This is my sixth year as a member of the Board and my first as President. Music has always been a part of my life. My tastes are eclectic, ranging from “old-school”rock and roll to folk to jazz and opera, and, of course, classical. Giving back to my community is also something that is important in my life. So, when, I was asked to join the Board of the Symphony, in 2011, I didn’t hesitate.To be chosen, this past September, as President of one of the jewels of Winnipeg’s renowned cultural scene is a great honour. The Board has two principal roles. One is to provide oversight of the management of the Orchestra to ensure that it continues to operate.The fact that, in a few weeks, it will be seventy years since the incorporation of the WSO attests to the success of past and present Boards in this goal.The second responsibility is to play a significant role in ensuring financial stability.The WSO depends on three sources of income: ticket sales, government grants and charitable donations.With much competition for entertainment dollars, there is a limit to the amount to be raised through ticket sales.With so many demands on public resources, the same is true of government funding.

  • Heartsurge (100)
    § 56 BPM monitor Artists' Play dance theatre II (100) aR HeartSurge (100) What happens when, in the beat of a heart, the inner rhythms that drive us change? FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 19, 2009 is back at it… What happens when, in the beat of a heart, the inner rhythms that drive us change? A joyful Viennese waltz is interrupted by a heart murmur. Three dancers morph into a sinewy pulsating heart, magnifying the physical representation of heart surgery. Through powerful elevated duets, heartfelt struggle becomes a mutual push to recovery. Based on a true story, Alan Page shared his experience of emotions, physical being and factual, medical information associated with his own heart surgery. The first incarnation of HeartSurge was shown at fFida 2006 and now incorporates dance theatre, while intertwining social waltz with contemporary dance. Elizabeth Dawn Snell’s choreography brings passion and empathy to the piece, and as her second year at the Fringe, she brings a fresh, new experience to the stage. Fringe 2008, the Toronto Star’s Susan Walker said, “Snell can dance,” and she can—catch her in a short preview of Love & Life alongside the performance of HeartSurge. “Through the metaphor of lyrical, emotional movement… the piece made a strong impact…” —Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail ~Artists’ Play Dance Theatre presents HeartSurge at the 2009 Toronto Fringe~ Choreography by: Elizabeth Dawn Snell Original Music by: Jason Vanstone and Al Bee Dancers/Collaborators: Tanya Crowder, Tyler Evan Webb, Sarah McQueston, Jason Vanstone, and Elizabeth Dawn Snell LOCATION: The George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Place (East of St.
