January 06 - Globe Luncheon with Jane Ohland Cameron

January 6: Lunch at the Globe with Jane Ohland Cameron, Author, Scriptwriter, Director & Playwright in Residence at Theatre Orangeville

Jane’s work with actors in Orangeville is “beyond outstanding”. She works with actors with developmental disabilities and helps these young people find their voices on stage. You may have seen some of her work at Theatre Orangeville. These include The Imagination Express, In Search of Slumber Mountain, and Abba Cadabra, a script based on the music of ABBA. 

Jane’s particular skill is building a play based on the actors’ abilities. In essence, unlike most playwrights who write the play and then select the actors, Jane meets with the actors and they builds the play.

She is currently working on a new piece which will be presented at Theatre Orangeville on April 16-17, 2014. Jane will share some of her tips on working with these actors and will encourage us to never give up!

November 16 - Non-Objective Abstracts with Marianne Broome

This is an exciting workshop for exploration and creativity. Even those people who say “I do not like abstracts” will have a lot of fun and discover new possibilities. Several different techniques will be explained in the demonstrations.

Ways to incorporate texture, the use of different tools and the selection of a colour palette for your own painting will also be explored. All skill levels can be accommodated. Marianne will provide reference photos but please bring you own, anything that suggests major shapes and/or colours.
