SUMMARY:In the Ballroom: Scottish and Irish Dances at Home
DESCRIPTION:In the Ballroom:\nScottish and Irish Dances at Home\n\n\n\n\nDive into the lively practice of traditional québécois dances! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for five exciting events celebrating québécois dance and music traditions\, some of which are rooted in English-speaking communities that have long helped shape our province’s cultural landscape. If you are curious\, love living heritage activities\, or simply want to move and have fun\, come experience the energy of traditional dances and the stories behind them with our Ès TRAD guests! \n  \nOn February 25\, discover the québécois twist to Scottish and Irish dances that have found a home in our province with James Allan (call)\, François Dumas (violin)\, and Susie Lemay (piano) \n  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n-Short concert\n-Short historical introduction to Scottish and Irish dances in Quebec\n-Dance workshop \n  \nThis activity is offered bilingually\, in both French and English. \nPlease bring comfortable shoes with with good support and non-adherent soles\, as well as a water bottle.\n\nBook your tickets here!\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nGuests \n \n\nCredit: Carbo Photo \n\n  \n  \nOf Scottish and Irish origin\, James Allan was born in Kinnear’s Mills and is part of a dance and calling heritage. Originally a dancer\, James started calling in 1988. He is the sole member of the new generation to call in English\, respecting this tradition of over 60 years in the Inverness townships\, which stretch along the North-East limit of the Les Bois-Francs region\, between Beauce and the Eastern Townships\, on the South shore of the St-Lawrence River. As always\, James will give his explanations in French\, present the vocabulary of the workshop\, and call in English. \n— \n  \nBorn in Saint-Charles de Bellechasse\, François Dumas discovered the violing at 4 years old. Very young\, he developed a passion for the music of his idol Jean Carignan\, whose style he will study methodically. Today\, François is admired and known everywhere as a violonist with exceptional talent. Thanks to his breathtaking bow manipulation\, François Dumas has become a worthy bearer of Jean Carignan’s repertoire and technique. François has participated in many shows and recordings. His love of québécois folklore has carried him a little bit everywhere on Quebec stages\, in a few European countries\, and in Mexico. \n— \n \nSusie Lemay started playing the accordion through her family’s influence. In 1987\, she started exploring traditional music from Quebec\, Ireland\, Scotland\, and musette on the melodeon and the three-row accordion with musical masters such as Denis Pépin and Philippe Bruneau. In 2005\, Susie purchased a two-row\, ré/do# accordion. She has since dedicated her efforts to that instrument\, and her music presents tonalities faithful to the original melodies and the opportunity to expend her repertoire through the adaptation of violin parts to the accordion. In recent years\, she is also present in the field on the piano. In 2016\, she founded the group “TIPSY 3” with two other musicians from the Maritimes\, promoting traditional music from Eastern Canada. Many traditional music event organizers call on her to showcase her mastery of her instrument and her knowledge of the repertoire. She has performed in Quebec\, in Canada\, in the United States\, and in Europe. She shares the best of the musical treasures in a universe where tradition doesn’t have borders. In 2014\, along with Denis Pépin\, she was granted the “coup de coeur” Heritage Prize from the Ville de Lévis for their album DEUX\, which came out in 2022. \n  \n\nIn the Ballroom—Traditional Music and Dance of a Community is presented in collaboration with the Centre de valorisation du patrimoine vivant Ès TRAD and made possible thanks to financial support from the Gouvernement du Québec and Ville de Québec through their cultural development agreement. \nCheck out the full programming here!

SUMMARY:Express Yourself: Writing the Messy First Draft
DESCRIPTION:Express Yourself:\nWriting the Messy First Draft\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the creative workshop Writing the Messy First Draft: A Somatic Approach to Creative Writing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes perfectionism stop you before you’ve written a single word? Does your inner critic hijack the creative process? This workshop teaches you how to bypass the editor and access authentic voice through your body. \nUsing breathwork\, bilateral movement\, and embodied writing exercises\, you’ll learn to quiet mental chatter and write from a grounded\, present state. We’ll explore the neuroscience behind creative flow and practice somatic techniques that shift you out of “editor brain” and into generative mode. \n  \n\n\n\nParticipants will:  \n– Understand how nervous system regulation supports creative expression \n– Practice body-based techniques for accessing creative flow \n– Generate 3-5 pieces of raw written material using sensory prompts \n– Learn to write from body memory rather than mental narrative \n– Take home a resource guide with somatic writing practices to continue using them independently \n  \nAll materials will be provided. This workshop is open to writers of any level\, with no previous somatic experience required.\n\nBook your tickets here!\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWorks created during the workshop may be submitted for the Morrin Centre’s call for zine publications. \nCome ready to move\, breathe\, and get some words on the page! \n\nCheck out the Morrin Centre Website Here: https://www.morrin.org/en/event/express-yourself-writing-the-messy-first-draft/?mc_cid=66a2230d63&mc_eid=783d4e7481 \n\n  \nWorkshop Facilitator \nAmanda Jeanne is a writer and visual artist based in Lac-Beauport who integrates somatic practices into both her art-making and teaching. She publishes “Squirrel Brain\, Chickadee Soul” on Substack\, exploring creative practice\, neurodivergence\, and immigrant experience in Quebec. Amanda facilitates intuitive painting workshops and creative retreats with an embodied approach and is currently completing a memoir. Her training includes AMI Quebec’s “Write from the Heart” workshop series\, therapeutic arts facilitation\, and Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) method practice. You can find her work online on her website and on Substack. \n  \n\n  \n   The project Express Yourself—From Thought to Zine is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada.
