In this improvisation series, presented by stage actor and director Michael Bourguignon, you will learn the A-to-Z of performance, how to think on (and off) your feet, and how to support your fellow performers by developing teamwork and trust. Through a variety of warm-up exercises, games, and off-the-cuff scenarios, you will experience the fun (and funny!) world of improvisation in a safe and supportive environment. Bring your smile and sense of spontaneous adventure! No ifs or buts …
Michael Bourguignon is a stage actor and director known for his quick wit and his penchant for pratfalls and other forms of physical comedy. Currently vice-president of the Quebec Art Company, Quebec City’s foremost English-language theatre group, Michael discovered his passion for the stage late in life, but he hit the boards running and hasn’t looked back. Like his lifelong mentor, Bugs Bunny, Michael is a versatile character actor who dabbles in musicals and overdresses for almost every occasion. When not onstage, he is a teacher, communications consultant, voiceover artist, sometime stand-up comedian, and proud father. In all these roles, he always asks himself, “What would Bugs Bunny do?”

Breathing is something we do every moment of every day and without much thought. During stressful times, our breath may become shorter and quicker. Through practice, however, we can take control of our breath and use it to relax.

Learn about the philosophy of meditation and breathwork, and their benefits on body and mind. Try out various breathing exercises and techniques. This will be an interactive activity featuring both movements and explanations, and you will be welcome ask questions at any time.
You will need comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, a yoga mat and a blanket or cushion.
We require you to register for this workshop as places are limited to a maximum of 15 participants.

In this improvisation series, presented by stage actor and director Michael Bourguignon, you will learn the A-to-Z of performance, how to think on (and off) your feet, and how to support your fellow performers by developing teamwork and trust. Through a variety of warm-up exercises, games, and off-the-cuff scenarios, you will experience the fun (and funny!) world of improvisation in a safe and supportive environment. Bring your smile and sense of spontaneous adventure! No ifs or buts …
Michael Bourguignon is a stage actor and director known for his quick wit and his penchant for pratfalls and other forms of physical comedy. Currently vice-president of the Quebec Art Company, Quebec City’s foremost English-language theatre group, Michael discovered his passion for the stage late in life, but he hit the boards running and hasn’t looked back. Like his lifelong mentor, Bugs Bunny, Michael is a versatile character actor who dabbles in musicals and overdresses for almost every occasion. When not onstage, he is a teacher, communications consultant, voiceover artist, sometime stand-up comedian, and proud father. In all these roles, he always asks himself, “What would Bugs Bunny do?”
This event is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada.

Join us for a hike on the Sentier de la Foret ancienne trail at Mont Wright on Saturday, October 21 at 9am. Dads, father figures, step dads or grandfathers are all invited to this great excursion outdoors with their little ones, with Jarryd, our WE Dads community animator.
Meet in the parking lot at 9:00 a.m. This is a popular place, so hopefully the early start will allow everyone to get a parking spot! The plan is to hike to the top and enjoy a picnic lunch together, so be sure to bring along a healthy lunch for your family (please avoid nuts for those with allergies).
Of special note
- Mont Wright charges a fee of $7 per adult. Children under 17 are free. There is a ticket machine at the entrance to the trails, near the reception pavilion. You can pay by credit or debit (Visa, Mastercard, Interac).
- The trail we will be taking is called ‘Sentier de la Foret ancienne’. It is a 4km loop.
- We expect this outing to take 3.5-4 hours. It will be a 2 hour hike to the top, a half hour stop for lunch, and then about an hour to come back down.
- This is NOT a stroller friendly trail and can be quite steep in some parts. Accompanying children will need to be great walkers and for little ones we recommend carrying them in a hiking backpack.
- Be sure to dress for the weather and pack a lunch, snacks and water.
- See this map for directions to get there.
Who can attend
This particular event is open to all father figures and and kiddos! For more details please contact Jarryd Smith, WE Dads Community Animator, by email.
