SUMMARY:Legally Blonde The Musical

The musical follows the transformation of California girl and fashion student Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and exceeds her own expectations in pursuit of her dreams. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs\, dynamic dances\, and an adorable dog- this musical is so much fun\, it should be illegal!Elle Woods appears to have it all but her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her to go to Harvard Law School. Determined to get him back\, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. Despite serious challenges with peers\, professors\, and her ex\, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world with the support of some new and old friends.Legally Blonde the Musical dismantles the idea that women should be confined to certain professions or lifestyles and instead encourages them to pursue their passion without fear of judgment or criticism.Directed by Lori MazeyMusical Direction by Carol Anne ParkinsonChoreography by Lindsay SterkMusic and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell BenjaminBook by Heather HachBased on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion pictureLegally Blonde is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

SUMMARY:Reading - Into - Writing
DESCRIPTION:READING-INTO-WRITING is a workshop by Cornelia Hoogland that will precede her feature poet reading (followed by an open mic) at the Artful : The Gallery\, Courtenay B.C. The workshop runs 5:00-6:30 pm on July 8\, 2024. The back-to-back workshop and reading are by separate donation to cover separate costs. Please arrive ON TIME\, say\, 10 minutes beforehand! \nCornelia Hoogland\, author of 8 books of poetry\, has taught writing during her university career\, in her annual\, online courses\, and in the community (for which she received the national 2023 Colleen Thibaudeau Award for Excellence in Poetry). \nIn READING-INTO-WRITING\, participants (beginners welcome) will hone their skills in reading a poem in a way that allows them to create a template to use in writing their own poems. The template can help avoid the formal or linguistic habits we writers fall into\, and offer alternatives\, thereby refreshing our writing practice and surprising us. \nIn preparation for the workshop\, find and bring a poem that you admire and want to emulate (This is voluntary!). Cornelia will bring copies of the poem we’ll use to build our template\, and time permitting\, try out. Bring writing materials and a sense of fun and experimentation. In the reading that follows\, Hoogland will expand concepts introduced into the workshop\, giving living examples of her READING-INTO-WRITING method. Join us for either or both!

SUMMARY:Shared Wisdom (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:An Intercultural Storytelling Experience\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA community inquiry exploring stories to live by. \nGuided by Chief Wedlidi Speck and Kester Reid of Fianna Wilderness School\, this gathering will celebrate connections between Salish-Kwakwaka’wakw and Irish-Scottish traditions. \nDetailed description: This circle will explore stories from two old traditions – the local Salish-Kwakwaka’wakw\, and the Irish/Scottish tradition of settler lineages. As a community we will explore the cultural understandings carried by the stories\, offering us insight into important questions of belonging\, community\, reciprocity and reconciliation. Participants will be invited to share their voice\, and their perspective\, as we inquire not only with the stories\, but also with the land around us and the ways in which it participates in the old teachings of story. \n. \nChief Wedlidi Speck and Kester Reid will share the stories and facilitate discussion. This is an intercultural event that values diverse perspectives and decolonizing inquiry. Bring your curiosity and an open heart\, and please plan to stay for the duration of the event. \nThis is an intergenerational event\, and all ages are welcome\, including children/youth that are able to participate for the duration (aged 7+).

SUMMARY:Sheena Legrand with Special Guest Andy Gartner
DESCRIPTION:There’s a special moment when the breath meets the heartbeat\, and time stands still. The pull to move with the music emerges\, and hesitancy falls away. Sheena Legrand channels this in “Back To Life” – her latest offering to the world since 3 full length albums as Sheena Grobb. \nListening to her music\, there is a comfort\, a familiarity\, a remembering who we are. Expect this WCMA-nominated indie-folk/pop songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to serve us a generous helping of sweet melodic hooks\, intricate keys\, and delicately layered vocals reminiscent of her earlier work\, with an electrifying live loop experience that will be sure to get your body moving. \nSheena’s songwriting reflects the inner strength\, playfulness\, and electricity that exists when standing on the edge of our infinite potential. Her audiences live happily on that edge with her where the journey really begins. \nCheck out Sheena’s latest release “Green Light” – now available on all platforms. This is the songbird’s first commercial single in 10 years\, and a celebration for anyone finding their way ‘back to life’.\nWith that in mind\, you won’t want to miss local songwriter Andy Gartner as he shares his long awaited song list to warm the room. Andy’s powerful voice and captivating songwriting have been kept under wraps up until now…

SUMMARY:Sarah Wilson - Guest Artist

Sarah believes potters have a unique opportunity through the nature of their craft\, to bring beauty to the simplest moments in everyday life. In our fast-paced world\, where we are surrounded by mass consumerism\, objects made with intention are ever important. A huge inspiration for Sarah has always been the surrounding natural environments in the places she has come to know as home. With a background in ocean conservation\, Sarah strives to create a sense of connection to nature through her work. \nSwing by the gallery to check out her beautiful nature inspired art from 10-4 Monday to Saturday throughout the month of June.

SUMMARY:Sam Tudor Live in Concert
DESCRIPTION:The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with Eno inspired beats while acoustic guitars meet distorted synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy\, melancholic narrator\, leaning in close with confessional and cathartic writing. The band’s live show is not to be missed – moving and personal\, with both hushed tones and bombastic walls of sound. On this tour\, Sam is touring with guitarist / vocalist Lilli Carr and bassist Jasper Wrinch\, in an intimate trio set-up that focusses on the songwriting. \n“a moving and honest performance… embellished with jazz\, baroque\, and electronic touches” \n— VICE Magazine \nDoors at 8pm\, Show at 8:30pm
