Workshop Description:
During this light-hearted window of exploration, we will visit the principles of puppetry and consider the potential for animation in discarded or forgotten items. We will then move into small groups to build simple performances, where we will examine how to make an object driven story specific and compelling, and the role the audience’s imagination plays in object storytelling. Most importantly, we will have fun.
Geneviève Paré is a multi-disciplinary theatre artist, Co-Founder of Mudfoot Theatre, and a Jim Henson Company puppeteer, based in Treaty Seven Territory. Through a practice of building, shaping, and performing live theatre Geneviève endeavours to invigorate human relationships to self, land and community. Process is a playground in Geneviève’s approach to theatre making, striving for joyful collaboration, productive conflict, and leveled hierarchies. Ecologically sustainable theatre practices are paramount in Geneviève’s work. Outside of the theatre, Geneviève is a youth leader, wilderness guide, and a puppeteer for film and television.
Her recent works include Fraggle Rock (Jim Henson Company), Iniskim (Canadian Academy of Mask and Puppetry), GIANT (Ghost River Theatre), A Christmas Carol (Theatre Calgary), and We Are All Treaty People (Quest Theatre).

Land AcknowledgementThe Calgary Reggio Network Association wishes to honour and respect that the land in which we live, work and play is upon the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This region includes the the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda.
The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis” which we now call the City of Calgary. Our work centres on children, families and educators acknowledging community and diversity. We wish to walk together as an organization advocating for the calls to action to be realized from the truth and reconciliation initiative. In consideration that knowledge is key, we offer some recommended reading for our CRNA community. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform-single/beyond-94?&cta=70 https://indigenouspeoplesatlasofcanada.ca/article/fn-frequently-asked-questions/ https://empoweringthespirit.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Weaving-Ways-Introductory-Document-10-09.pdf http://www.fourdirectionsteachings.com/ |
