Whether it was visual art or drama or even music, I dreaded going to those classes, and in rural schools I don’t think this was an isolated case. All throughout elementary grades my friends and I despised the arts, but once we hit high-school, for most of us, the narrative changed. In Ontario you are required to take an arts credit in grade nine, so I joined drama and I quickly realized… I actually like this! I apparently had a hidden talent that I never knew I had. I loved to be in front of people, to tell stories and playing different characters. In my grade nine year I received the junior drama award and my career in the arts confidently grew from there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/e0e60416-88eb-409c-8b47-c0aaeb732cec/Darian+standing+with+Greg+Sadlier.jpg Blog - From Typical Country Hockey Kid to Emerging Artist - In the summer when I was fifteen, I decided to try guitar class instead of drama, and once again, surprised… I fell in love with music. Music became my favorite pastime outside of hockey. I sat in my room for hours practicing songs and learning chords. In grade ten I met Greg Sadlier who was doing various arts education programs at my school, and he saw a lot of artistic potential in me. That summer I was asked to join his organization Camexicanus as their assistant director. Camexicanus is a non-profit organization that connects rural youth artists around all North America and Central America. https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-pivoting monthly 0.5 2022-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/fde19c67-a347-4618-ae52-e11e2e8564a6/empty+performance+room.png Blog - The Hidden Cost of Pivoting - The original topic for my second blog was going to be how professional theatre venues can be an economic driver for small tourist towns. For Globus Theatre, we were looking forward to recouping some of the losses that 2020 brought. We envisioned an extended summer season from May to September, filled with guaranteed crowd pleasers as well as new and exciting Canadian works. From play readings to concerts and memorable plays, our season was announced and ready to go. But, when the Ontario government announced in early June that there was a new reopening plan, our dreams were dashed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/a4ec08f8-8bc6-44ce-9e83-bd9dce238753/outdoor+music+performance+with+picnic+tables.png Blog - The Hidden Cost of Pivoting - “Isn’t it great that something can happen in the theatre?” “Finally!” “Tell us more about your recent pivot to the outdoors.” “You should keep doing theatre outside!” “I bet you’re excited to be back.” https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/a-creek-a-lake-and-multicoloured-pom-poms monthly 0.5 2022-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/5da76a76-2a49-4449-b7e3-ba87350d5076/tall+grasses.jpg Blog - A Creek, A Lake, and Multicoloured Pom Poms / Un Ruisseau, Un Lac et des Pompons Multicolores - This past weekend, I found myself craving the outdoors. I decided Sunday morning that I would spend as much time outside as my body wanted me to. So I went to my usual spot and hiked away. It was sunny and cloudy, a little cold but bearable, wet and muddy in some spots, but mostly dry. Eventually I found myself in a clearing between the Four Mile Creek and a human-made lake. I stood there for a little while, listening to the reeds blowing in the wind, watching both waters and how different they were. The creek was a deep aquamarine blue, and the lake was a muddy looking brown. The lake was still, unmoving, rippling with the wind, while the creek was flowing, moving, changing. You could hear the movement in it and the washing away of the winter. I stood there and thought to myself how interesting the differences were between these waters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/f03a5769-8291-41f1-86a7-d3a46d33c1cb/Ridgeway-Fall-Fest-2.jpg Blog - A Creek, A Lake, and Multicoloured Pom Poms / Un Ruisseau, Un Lac et des Pompons Multicolores - One afternoon in beautiful Ridgeway, Ontario at the Annual Fall Festival, I met an incredible man. This was back when in-person events existed. A volunteer and I were hanging out under the Carousel Players tent waving hello to passers-by and handing out Carousel Players swag as usual, and this man approached us. It was evident that he was highly intelligent and a big thinker. He came out of the gate with these huge questions about politics, the young generation, the economy etc. that I truthfully didn’t know how to answer. I can’t be sure that he was asking because he expected us to answer in that moment or because he wanted us to think about what he was asking. At the end of what was a remarkably interesting conversation, he handed each of us a multicolored pompom from his pocket, and told us that we are all connected, and to go off and make the world a better place. https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/taking-a-piece-from-rural-musicians monthly 0.5 2022-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/8b12a732-c512-47fd-98af-405f5314696b/Skyline+Studios+and+Dustin+Skysmith.jpeg Blog - Taking a Piece from Rural Musicians - Another rural musician with similar experiences to Martin is Dustin Skysmith. From Mitchell, Ontario, Skysmith is a working musician as well as a small business owner. He’s the owner and operator of Skyline Studios, a music studio that offers DJing services for events and music lessons for a variety of ages, instruments, and skill levels (currently online for the safety of all his students). Believe it or not, his dad was a Garth Brooks impersonator, so music has always been a part of his life and he started playing guitar at the age of ten, 18 years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/93285173-33ad-42d7-a365-6ee2e82626b6/Shelter-Check.jpg Blog - Taking a Piece from Rural Musicians - The Shelter Project is a proud supporter of the Tanner Steffler Foundation – a non-profit aimed to increase mental health and addiction resources/supports in Huron County, created by John and Heather Teffler after the tragic passing of their son. Each May, Skysmith and his students create and preform art online to gather donations for this foundation. This year, Skysmith is also working with Blue Waters Music in St. Mary’s, Ontario, and is encouraging artists of all types to get involved – whether it’d be through music, art, or photography, to name a few. This year’s original song for the project is called Beneath and can be listened to on Youtube and other streaming services, and more information can be found here. https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/rural-arts-space-how-theatres-can-go-the-distance monthly 0.5 2022-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/9962ca55-43e5-4c88-9907-f8a854c447d6/social+distancing+spelled+with+scrabble+letters.jpeg Blog - Rural Arts Space: How Theatres Can Go the Distance - For many theatres in 2020, only the ghost light lit stages where previously stories had come to life. The auditoriums where cheerful and excited audiences once sat lay dormant, blanketed by darkness. Artistic teams, performers, and patrons waited with bated breath as the arts and the world were rattled by an invisible enemy. There appeared to be some home when at the start of March, the Ontario provincial government announced it was investing $25 million into the arts sector; however, many arts and culture spaces in rural or remote communities were excluded. This begs the question; how could theatres stay alive? If we ever come out of this pandemic, would there be any art spaces left? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/2e3301f1-b649-484f-8888-186748df7f15/Lakeview+Arts+Barn.jpeg Blog - Rural Arts Space: How Theatres Can Go the Distance - Situated just outside of the village of Bobcaygeon, sitting back from Pigeon Lake Road/Highway 17, is a big pink barn. Once a working cattle barn, the Lakeview Arts Barn, is a contemporary 150 seat black box theatre, with Globus Theatre as the theatre-in-residence. A professional summer theatre formed in 2003, Globus as produced over 10 world premieres and over 15 Canadian premieres. Their 17th season was set to be their largest one yet; however, it like many others was cancelled. As restrictions slowly shifted late in the summer, Artistic Director Sarah Quick and Artistic Producer James Barrett saw an opportunity to bring theatre to light once more. Photo by R. A.

Local restaurant The Pie Eyed Monk was unable to continue catering for larger scale events like weddings. Joining forces to hold a COVID-19 safe dinner theatre experience in their second-floor event space was a win/win for both companies. What resulted was a successful three-show run of Norm Foster one-acts, which left the audience wanting more. The theatre is excited to announce that another murder mystery dinner theatre event is currently in rehearsals.

The fabric has a glittering effect theatre magic happen again when they created Halloween Happening, an indoor large-space event that allowed families to walk through different “rooms” inside the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. Kind of like a haunted house, but no jump scares, and we kept the creepiness factor to a minimum. It included a fairy room, a pumpkin patch, a giant witch puppet and her cauldron, among others. The selected entry slots filled up so quickly and before we knew it, we were sold out! I was elated! Not only would I get to see more families in person again, but this time they would all be in costume! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216420e88d4290ffd2e467f/a05c4a8a-5964-4227-8a74-10dd44f95684/Winterworld.jpg Blog - Hello and Bonjour from Carousel Players! - Winterworld was another unique event that came out of last year. In the atrium at the St Catharines Public Library, our team created a beautiful snow queen installation with multiple dioramas surrounding her, including a bunny hill with tiny little bunnies on skies. It was magical. Even though we experienced the disappointment over and over again of plans that didn’t come to fruition, we were still able to make magic possible, and that gives me the warm and fuzzies. Was it the same? Of course not! But experiencing the joy and excitement of others as they danced with our giant puppet Nadine the Ondine, or entered the Dragon room in Halloween Happening, or set eyes on the tall majestic snow queen still put a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart. https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/category/Festivals monthly 0.5 https://www.sparcperformingarts.com/blog/category/Symposium monthly 0.5
