Introduction to Physical Theatre
In this workshop, participants will explore their own self-expression through improvisation, games, and mime. They will learn techniques that actors use to develop believable characters and honest interactions, and apply their new skills to short scenes and ensemble work. The workshop will be engaging, creatively physical and lead students toward honesty, vulnerability and utterly captivating performances. This workshop is designed to be an inclusive experience for indigenous and non-indigenous students and community members. And of course, it will be fun! For all levels – no experience necessary.
SATURDAYS, APRIL 1 & 8, 11 AM - 5 PM
Location: To be confirmed.
Eight of the sixteen spots will be reserved for members of the indigenous community.
Participants will receive a $100 honorarium for attending both sessions. Snacks will be provided.

The Graduate to Opportunity program provides an incentive to Nova Scotia employers to hire recent graduates for permanent, full-time jobs paying at least $30,000 a year. The incentive is 25% of the first year’s salary and 12.5% of the second year’s salary and it’s available to small businesses, social enterprises and non-profit organizations. Now, employers who hire Aboriginal Canadians, people who identify as racially visible, persons with a disability, or women in occupations in which they’re under-represented or international graduates will receive an additional 10%, for a total of 35%, of the first year’s salary. This “diversity bonus” will provide incentives to encourage employers to take a closer look at Aboriginal graduates and discover what tremendous benefits diversity can bring to a workplace. Feel free to make this known throughout your networks and, especially, to employers. I’m attaching, for your reference, both the government news release, a Fact Sheet and a postcard that Labour and Advanced Education has created to promote the program. If you would like to receive copies of any of the materials, please give Rick Alexander a call at 902-722-1088, or send him an email at rick.alexander@novascotia.ca.
