Montreal, playback theatre

2006-06-09T15:31:00.000-04:00

Dear Friends and Playback Theatre Lovers,

We are busy collaborating on an upcoming and very special Playback Theatre performance (see: www.playbackmontreal.org for a description of Playback) This special show will be for the elder population of Montreal, and will be held at the Cummings Jewish Community Centre (www.cummingscentre.org). T.B.A. Playback Theatre Co. has played at the Cummings Centre last year to overwhlemingly positive audience responses. Yet, currently, we are facing the challenge of not being able to reach many of the members of our intended community. What this means is that they miss being invited to come out and experience a powerful and heart warming event which they may not otherwise experience. They miss the chance to be able to tell their stories in a safe space and have their impressions of life validated and recognized. After so many touching perfomances with seniors we have heard countless feedback about how the love and respect they receive from such shows is so scarce in their lives and how much they wish for our return. And we have been working hard to make more events happen like this one. We request your help in spreading the word, so that we can reach out to those who may wish to engage in this long awaited event. Only through your support, will we be able to reach enough people to be able to sell enough tickets ahead of time to secure the location costs and make this happen! What can you do? (SO MUCH!!!) Please pass on this email to anyone who might be interested. We also invite you to come and enjoy an evening with authentic and moving stories of the elders of your community, brought to artistic life, right on the spot. You may make a call to the contact below to buy tickets for yourself and any elders who you know who may enjoy connecting with others and even seeing their own lives reflected back. CONTACT: DONNA SIMMERMAN, @ 342-1234 Ext 7220 www.cummingscentre.org Thank you for any and all support, David-Jan Jurasek Director (514) 814-7674 inspiredandfree@yahoo.ca www.inspiredservices.ca

Équinoxe de Printemps
Journée PORTES OUVERTES
Atelier LA MAGIE DES MASQUES

* Équinoxe de Printemps Le Centre TEMENOS et les Productions Sophia ont la joie de vous convier à la célébration de l’équinoxe du Printemps. Dans le cadre des RITUELS SAISONNIERS, Danielle Bissonnette vous convie à une soirée de conte le Samedi 18 Mars 2006 à 19 h au 4855 rue Boyer à Montréal pour Toutes Fourrures. Après les étapes mortelles de l'automne et de l'hiver, le printemps inaugure un renouveau salvateur. La mort n'était qu'apparente et la vie, toujours présente, couvait dans le secret. Mais cette remontée n'est pas instantanée, le retour de la belle saison apparaît de façon irrégulière, avec des poussées en avant et des retours en arrière continuels. Toutes Fourrures, Peau d'Âne dans la version de Perrault, illustre bien ces successions difficiles et souvent décourageantes de montées et de descentes jusqu'à ce que la renaissance soit définitivement installée. Toutes Fourrures s’enfuit du royaume de son père, apportant trois robes: couleur du soleil, de la lune et des étoiles. Elle devient servante chez un roi. Lors d’un premier bal, elle revêt sa robe d’or, danse avec lui puis s’enfuit. Au deuxième bal, sa robe de lune puis retourne se cacher. Au troisième bal, le roi la reconnaît. Ils se marient. Les hauts et les bas avant la guérison et l’installation d’un nouvel ordre. Lieu : 4855 rue Boyer à Montréal Entrée : 10 $ Informations : Danielle Bissonnette productions_sophia@mediamonde.net 795, rue Saint-Jacques Vieux Longueuil (Québec) J4H 3C8 tel: 450-442-7024 * Journée Portes Ouvertes Le Centre TEMENOS vous convie à la journée Portes Ouvertes le Dimanche 19 Mars 2006 à l’occasion de la semaine Internationale des Thérapies par les Arts. « L’éveil du printemps en nous » Un atelier exploratoire et expérientiel par l’art, l’imaginaire et le corps au cours duquel vous rencontrerez l’équipe de TEMENOS. Le Dimanche 19 mars 2006 De 13 heures à 16 heures. Lieu : À Montréal, 4855 rue Boyer, local 235, 1er étage. Personne ressource : Fiona Petersen - 845-7441. mailto:fiona.p@sympatico.ca Informations : 525-6868 mailto:centre.temenos@internet.uqam.ca La magie des Masques De tout temps, les masques ont été utilisés pour communiquer des messages existentiels et favoriser les passages de la vie. Chaque masque révèle les peurs, les désirs, les forces et les réalités inconscientes de son créateur. Dès lors, la fabrication d’un masque constitue une occasion extraordinaire d’explorer son univers intime et d’apprivoiser ses zones d’ombre et de lumière. Le port du masque et le jeu permettent d’aller à la rencontre d’un personnage intérieur, de l’habiter et de le laisser exprimer ce qui a besoin d’être libéré. La visualisation, le jeu et le mouvement font partie de cette merveilleuse aventure à la rencontre de soi. Idéal pour marquer une transition ou un nouveau projet de vie. Dates : 24-25-26 mars 2005 Inscription : Les Ateliers Alexandra Duchastel (514) 525-6868 155$ /175$ après le 24 février 2005 Vous souhaitant un beau mois de mars, L’équipe du Centre TEMENOS

Centre TEMENOS Psychothérapies par les arts, l'imaginaire et le corps Tel. : (514) 525-6868 e :temenos_co@sympatico.ca Bonjour, C’est avec un grand plaisir que le Centre TEMENOS vous invite à célébrer le solstice d’hiver le Lundi 20 décembre. Il s’agit d’une rencontre où le cœur de la fête est le conte. Véritable spectacle participatif conçu pour aider à franchir les seuils de transformation qui permettent la continuité de la vie, Cet évènement sera animé par Danielle BISSONNETTE, conteuse et comédienne professionnelle et Alexandra DUCHASTEL, psychologue et art thérapeute. La Barbe Bleue Il était une fois un homme rendu au bout de ses ressources. Sa femme vient de mourir, ses fils sont à la guerre et ses filles réclament des soins. Il croit rencontrer un jour la possibilité de s’en sortir mais le prix à payer est élevé. Contre une bourse pleine d’argent, il doit donner ses filles à un riche géant. Les trois premières filles acceptent le marché, croyant échappées au malheur, mais rapidement elles trouvent la mort. La quatrième, d’une nature différente, découvrira le chemin pour atteindre le cœur du géant. Cet événement s’articule de la façon suivante : interprétation dramatique d’un conte ou d’un mythe par la comédienne explication des clés du conte ou du mythe activité créatrice et ritualisée permettant l’intégration des images.

October 23rd Registration Fee: $20.00 Location TBA www.creative-alternatives.ca to register

Thinking in the Round: Developing our collective intelligence through dialogue At the heart of every group endeavour is a continual exchange and blending of ideas and experiences. However, to reach the heights of innovation and creativity that we imagine for our organizations and communities, we need to be more intentional about the way we think together. We must move beyond our typical modes of communication- discussion and debate- that tend to only reinforce our current thinking. Through the practice of dialogue, we learn to examine our underlying assumptions, deeply explore perspectives that directly conflict with our own, and consciously change the way in which we are thinking to allow for new meaning to emerge. In this workshop, we will introduce you to the practice and underlying theory of dialogue. You will also have the opportunity to engage in dialogue as a group to experience how it unfolds and to reflect on the impact that it has on you individually and on the group as a whole.

YOUR FACILITATORS: Tana Paddock is a facilitator in organizational and community development. Her expertise is in helping diverse groups of people think and work together effectively across social and organizational boundaries. She has worked on a wide range of projects in the U.S. and Canada, including small business development, community economic development, organizational change, affordable housing, and education reform. She has led seminars on the theory and practice of dialogue at Concordia and McGill Universities and currently teaches a course at McGill that explores the social and environmental impact of business.

Gerardo Sierra has facilitated organizational development, leadership, and teambuilding initiatives for Mexican and Latin American Corporations. In January 2002, as the Director of Innovation and Development at Monterrey TEC Undergraduate Business School, he launched the Management Dialogues project, which brought together managers from different sectors and industries to explore and provide solutions to the challenges facing the Mexican Economy. Today, Gerardo continues his quest to develop & support collective efforts to build sustainable organizations and communities. PLEASE NOTE: Space is limited to 18 people, so please contact us before October 31st to pre-register. Coffee and tea will be served at 8:30am. Please bring a bag lunch. November 7th 9:00am to 4:30pm Rad'a Studio 841 rue Gilford (three blocks east of Metro Laurier) Wheelchair accessible Registration fee: $75.00.

Centre TEMENOS Psychothérapies par les arts, l'imaginaire et le corps 4411, Garnier, Montréal, Qc, H2J 3S3 TEL : (514) 525-6868 e : centre.temenos@internet.uqam.ca Bonjour à tous, Le Centre TEMENOS a le plaisir de vous rappeler que la prochaine conférence exploratoire se tiendra : Le mercredi 20 octobre à 19 h 00, À la Maison de la Culture Mercier située 8105 Hochelaga à Montréal. Cette soirée s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet L’ART AU SERVICE DE L’ÂME et aura pour thème : Tristan et Yseult le piège de l’amour Romantique. Elle sera animée par Alexandra Duchastel, Psychologue et art-thérapeute et de Danielle Bissonnette, Comédienne. Ce mythe propose une réflexion profonde sur la psychologie du couple moderne. L’occident cultive l’idéal du « grand amour » et en fait la base du mariage. Mais la recherche constante de l’extase amoureuse découle davantage d’une quête mystique que de l’amour humain. En projetant notre aspiration à la complétude dans nos relations amoureuses, nous tombons dans le même piège que Tristan et Iseult. Les images de ce mythe, des exercices d’art-thérapie, le mouvement et le jeu dramatique nous aideront à comprendre et à mieux vivre nos relations amoureuses. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer, L’équipe de TEMENOS Maison de la culture Mercier 8105 Hochelaga, Montréal – Tél. : 872-8755 Métro Honoré-Beaugrand, Bus 89

Journées de la Culture 2004

2004-09-28T04:08:00.000-04:00

AATQ presents during « les Journées de la culture 2004 » These two days are an initiative of our VP Francine Lévesque. She was instrumental with Amy Thomas, Sonja Boodajee and a team of committed facilitators in putting together 2 days of workshops and a panel to inform the general public. The endeavour was a great success and hopes to become an annual event—most probably an aspect of our public relation strategy. The following text is Francine’s on the spot report. The text is a collated version of two emails sent to the AATQ-egroup. They are slightly modified to fit this print based format. Saturday Sept. 25th Hi all, Today was a great success. 18 participants at the panel discussion, and 18 for the Drama tx workshop. 7 other people also came, 4 watched the tx videos and 3 got information, with a possibility of returning tomorrow. That's around 40 people, counting the ones who stuck around for both events.---not bad I would say. Participants were a mix of backgrounds from education, massage therapy, and students from the various arts. Curious others (potential clients) were also present. Thanks to Sonja Boodajee (right)--my right hand person, Nisha Sajnani, Amy Thomas (above), Stephen & Shelley Snow, Allen Gonzales and Gurney Bolster for a most edu-taining day. And Sheila Ostroff, thank you for the videos to which I added Judy Weiser's phototherapy video. They were most useful when people were waiting or came much to late and couldn't join the workshop or panel in progress. Thanks also go to Leigh Bulmer (right) who was in charge of collating the print base material we used for all to take home a little bit of who we are, what we can do and what these two days were all about. She managed incredibly well given the late mandate that was dropped on her given her numerous other involvements. Proof to the saying choose a busy person if you want something done in an efficient manner. Thank you. Tomorrow is a workshop day drama-art and art therapy. Drop in its great networking and such a positive experience. Francine Sunday Sept. 26, 2004 Hi everyone, Our second day was another great day with more than 50 people who dropped in. There were 18 (again this number) participants for Christine's workshop and 22 for Kathleen's. All enjoyed the exhibit and some stuck around for the videos and/or perused the various AT books I had brought, which were quite popular. Participants today ran the gamut with some surprising backgrounds: ü engineer ü fashion designer ü artistic director ü Info agent ü scientist ü office clerc ü brigadier ü producer ü accountant ü retirees & homemakers ü many teachers ü many students All in all, close to 100 people came to see us, many clearer on the difference between an art therapist, a psychologist using art and an artist doing therapeutic work. Some interested in pursuing therapeutic work with one of our professionals. Many many enthusiastic about our "important professions". An interview was also requested. Thanks go to Christine Doyle and Kathleen Olivier who did a fabulous job with the larger than expected groups, and to Sonja who supported all aspects of this project with the highest commitment. I couldn't have done this without her. Kathleen was a whiz at close to simultaneous translation, I was impressed. And Christine's skill in getting the group involved was a beautiful sight to see. Her exhibited works added the power of visuals to tell our therapeutic story. I am very proud of the quality that was delivered and the hard work our presenters put into this. According to the smiles and numerous questions and lingering participants after each session, I believe we met our goal: the one of lighting a fire for continued interest. Great stuff.
