Audio Storytelling Workshop: The Art of Interviewing
Jun 8 @ 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Interested in podcasting?

Join us on Saturday, June 8 from 10am – 3pm for this introductory workshop.

To register: https://forms.office.com/r/p97nSYZMhU

Bring your own lunch. Light refreshments provided.

Workshop description:

Interviewing guests is an essential podcasting skill.

How do we put our interviewees at ease even as we point a microphone at them? How can we structure our interview questions to provoke deeper reflections and help interviewees emotionally connect to their story? How do we ensure that our interview audio is clear and compelling and grabs listeners’ ears with nothing more than the phone in your pocket?

In this workshop, Glenn Patterson, an ethnographer and public-sector heritage worker, shares some of the secrets of oral history interviewing that he has learned firsthand over the last 15 years from veteran audio storytellers and radio producers.

This workshop is a partnership between Community Digital Arts Hub – CDAH and VEQ as part of the CDAH in the Regions project funded by the Government of Canada and supported by ELAN Quebec.

The Archive of Missing Things – Morrin Centre
Jun 12 – Jun 16 all day

Come experience The Archive of Missing Things, part live performance and part contemplative game, in the Morrin Centre’s exquisite Victorian library. Equipped with an iPad and a headset, you’ll explore a maze-like archive in search of the secret at its centre, guided by clues in a live performance happening discreetly around you. Created by Halifax’s acclaimed Zuppa Theatre with award-winning writer Kate Cayley, this performance, alongside a digital book and game, presents a mystery that is beautiful, wistful… and sometimes even a little eerie.

This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Arts Nova Scotia, and Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

*Please visit the Morrin Centre Website for times and more information: https://www.morrin.org/en/archive-of-missing-things/?mc_cid=0712a66ce4&mc_eid=783d4e7481

Library Lectures: Eli MacLaren – Morrin Centre
Sep 26 @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

 

Join us for our series of talks in honour of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s 200th anniversary.

A New Account of Western Canadian Authorship: The Poetry of Margaret Laurence’s Mother-in-Law

What models of being a writer were available to the young Margaret Laurence (1926–87) in the years leading up to her breakthrough novel, The Stone Angel (1964)? What structures of publishing and authorship were in place to support such an achievement by a woman from the Prairies? Among the Western Canadian authors of the Depression and the interwar period was one whom Margaret particularly acknowledged as a mentor – her husband Jack’s mother, Elsie Fry Laurence (1893–1982). Examining Elsie’s books and periodical contributions sheds new light on the possibilities and limits of being an author in Western Canada. This talk will trace Elsie’s life and career – through her romantic novel written as a governess in imperial Russia, her contributions to the Edmonton Journal and Alberta Poetry Year Book, her Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books, and her later fiction – to show how she carved out a practice of imagining the key roles played by women in rural Canada, a theme that would deeply inspire Margaret. In addition to her books, this account draws on interviews and correspondence with Elsie’s surviving children and grandchildren, thereby assembling an archive for a talented poet whom literary criticism has until now overlooked.

 

Presenter Biography

Eli MacLaren teaches poetry, Canadian literature, and the history of books and publishing in the Department of English at McGill University, where he is currently the director of graduate studies. He is the author of Dominion and Agency: Copyright and the Structuring of the Canadian Book Trade, 1867–1918 (2011) and Little Resilience: The Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books (2020). He is the vice-president of the Bibliographical Society of Canada and a co-researcher at the Groupe de recherches et d’études sur le livre au Québec. As the director of the Montreal International Poetry Prize, he co-ordinates a team of students and colleagues in building the international network for contemporary poetry.

Kanga gym: Group 2
Oct 19 @ 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

The image shows two young children, a boy and a girl, playing in a colorful indoor gym or playroom. The boy, wearing a blue shirt and dark shorts, and the girl, wearing a white dress, are both smiling and holding onto a wooden climbing frame. The background is filled with various play equipment, including hula hoops, a small basketball hoop, colorful balls, and wall-mounted climbing bars. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, suggesting a fun and safe environment for kids to play and exercise.

Note: Due to high demand, we have added a second group for this activity. 

Group 1: 9:15-10:15 a.m. ( FULL!)

Group 2: 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Join us for our first-ever toddler gym class. Kanga Gym is an activity designed for toddlers aged 2 to 5 that focuses on developing your child’s gross motor skills while giving them a chance to have fun with others. These parent-child sessions also provide an excellent opportunity for you to connect with your child as they navigate the stations.

What your kiddos will practice
  • Climbing on our new Montessori climbing structures
  • Jumping
  • Balance
  • Coordination

Kanga Gym is a unique approach that will challenge your child’s physical and emotional abilities in a fun and social setting. While climbing and jumping may be risky sometimes, science has shown that children thrive when experiencing risky play. It helps them to develop physical skills while promoting learning and overall development.

Register now because space is limited.

Due to space restrictions, we need to limit the number of places for this activity.
