PATTI CAPLETTE - Director/Choreographer/Writer/Producer As Artistic Director of Koba Entertainment, Patti Caplette oversees the creative and educational elements of each licensed property, including all original music, dance, scenic and costume design, and age-appropriate storylines. Patti safeguards the style, standards and integrity of Dora the Explorer, Max & Ruby, Caillou, Franklin the Turtle, the Backyardigans and other well-known, beloved characters as they make the transition from television and book medium into KOBA live touring theatrical productions. Patti’s performance career spanned 20 years, with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Montreal, then Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet, evolving to an offstage career which continues to challenge her creatively. Between 1973 and 1995, she travelled the globe, performing in more than 400 cities in 19 countries including United States, Canada, England, France, Russia, Japan, Egypt, Mexico, and starring in numerous ground-breaking productions by international choreographers. Highlights include a Paris engagement of The Who’s seminal rock opera ballet Tommy, Stravinsky’s Firebird at the Herod Atticus theatre in Athens, Greece, Peter Wright’s Giselle in Tokyo, Japan, and Van Danzig’s Romeo & Juliet at the famed Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Post stage career Patti became a director/choreographer/producer, creating a multitude of one-of-a- kind productions for the large and small stage. With Paquin Entertainment, her love of music spurred her to collaborations with numerous stars in the Canadian music and theatre industries. Her credits include: Opening Night, an original evening of musical theatre starring Michael Burgess (Les Miserable), Ma Anne Dionisio (Ms Saigon), Tyley Ross (West-Side Story) and Melissa Thompson (Beauty and the Beast); the Pan-American Games, The Juno Awards Gala, Her Majesty the Queen’s Royal Visit to Winnipeg’ and “The World Needs More Canada," for the Federal Government of Canada tour Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Dance on screen projects were honed whilst starring in Agnes de Milne’s Fall River Legend, Brian MacDonald’s Tam Di Delam, and Rudi Van Danzig’s Romeo and Juliet. Patti’s fascination with dance on film led to creation of an original dance drama Journey~ A Mythical Dance Fantasy for BRAVO!, starring prima ballerina Evelyn Hart. Journey won a Blizzard Award for the Best Performing Arts Film and a Gemini Award for Best Production Design. Autumn Lady for Global TV took home the bronze medal at the New York International Film and Television Festival. The CBC Canada Day Indigenous Peoples Tribute on Parliament Hill starred singer Tom Jackson and actor Graeme Green. Actor/dancer couple Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi engaged Patti to coach for the feature dance film Without a Word. Patti’s undeniable talent for translating a creative vision from stage to screen was invaluable as Content Producer for The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s recent film production of Moulin Rouge~ the Ballet showing in Cineplex Theatres. Alicia Faucher - ACI Manitoba After spending her post-secondary years dabbling in music, theatre, dance, and art, Alicia Faucher found herself graduating from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Fine Art. Now, as the Independent Artists Programs Manager at the Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba (ACI Manitoba), she is in charge of developing and coordinating entrepreneurial and business skills training for creative entrepreneurs and artists, as well as running The Art of Managing Your Career course and Creative Entrepreneurship symposium. She is always eager to help emerging and mid-career artists figure out how to turn their passions into their career. Dominique Genest-Crozier Adv. RMT, Osteopathy (current study) Dominique studied at the Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapy in Winnipeg. She completed her basic training in 1997 and graduated from the advanced program in 1999. She received the Don Bennett Award of excellence in 1997 and was the recipient of an award in 1999 for her thesis on ERS and FRS dysfunctions of the lumbar spine. Dominique first worked as a massage practitioner from November 1997 to July 1999 and as a massage therapist since then at Provencher Therapeutic Massage Thérapeutique. Dominique is also certified in pre and post-event sport massage, myofascial release, craniosacral levels I, II and sommato-emotional release. She also trained in Thai massage levels I and II in 2003 with the Lotus Palm Center in Montreal. She is certified in basic manual lymphatic drainage. Dominique began the osteopathic program at the Canadian College of Osteopathy in 2010. This is a 5 year program, at the end of which a thesis must be written and completed within 2 years. In June 2014, Dominique will have completed her 4th year of the total program. During her career, Dominique has volunteered many hours working with athletes at the Canada Games in Brandon, Pan Am games, the provincial cycling team, and Manitoba marathon. She has and continues to work with runners, dancers, gymnasts, synchronized swimmers and with athletes of every kind. Dominique has experience teaching massage therapy and its relevant subjects at the Wellington College. She believes "no pain no gain" is not a principal applicable to manual therapy, whether it be massage therapy or osteopathy and easily adapts her approach and style to each individual. Her massage techniques can be gentle and light as well as deep, firm and specific according to the preference and need of the person being treated. In osteopathy, it is truly the body's requirements which indicate the techniques to be used. There is a time and place for every technique from more soft tissue base release to the more firm osteoarticular impulse. All aimed at returning the individual's inherent capacity to adapt and function in a maximal state of homeostasis. Dominique considers the human body as a fascinating and beautiful machine regardless of its size, shape, ability and colour." Paul Kohlmeier, BPE, RMT, R.Ac. Paul shares the belief that healthcare needs to be financially accessible to be effective with his community at Straight to the Point Community Acupuncture (STTPCA). As one of the acupunks at STTPCA, he offers affordable acupuncture in comfortable recliners in a large room. Through his training

  • Michel Tremblay Auteur
    MICHEL TREMBLAY AUTEUR NOTES BIOGRAPHIQUES Figure dominante du théâtre québécois depuis la fin des années 1960, Michel Tremblay s'est aussi imposé comme romancier, traducteur, adaptateur et scénariste. Né dans un quartier populaire de l'est de Montréal, il découvre très tôt sa vocation d'écrivain. Dès ses études secondaires, il écrit des poèmes, des pièces de théâtre, des romans. À l’adolescence, il entreprend la rédaction de contes fantastiques qu'il réunit plus tard en un recueil : Contes pour buveurs attardés. À 18 ans, il s'inscrit à l'Institut des Arts graphiques, où il apprend le métier de linotypiste, qu’il exerce de 1963 à 1966. En 1964, Michel Tremblay soumet une pièce, Le train, au concours des Jeunes auteurs de Radio-Canada : il y remporte le premier prix. La même année, il rencontre André Brassard qui deviendra le metteur en scène de presque toutes ses pièces, jusqu’en 2003. En 1965, André Brassard utilise quelques-uns des Contes pour buveurs attardés dans un spectacle consacré à la littérature fantastique : Messe noire. La même année, Michel Tremblay écrit Les belles-sœurs. Après la lecture publique des Belles-sœurs le 4 mars 1968 au Centre d’essai des auteurs dramatiques, la pièce est créée au Théâtre du Rideau Vert, le 28 août 1968. Elle connaît alors un succès retentissant, au point d’avoir fait l’objet de près de 600 productions au Québec et à l'étranger. Écrites en joual, un registre de langue propre à Montréal, Les belles-sœurs donnent une vision renouvelée du quartier ouvrier où est né Tremblay.
