HyeKyong Yun

Vernissage: Friday, November 14th, 2008, 5 to 8 pm

This exhibition is an objectification of HyeKyong’s self-portraiture onto other subjects. Its focus is on Asian males in their twenties; not yet men, but no longer boys. The loss of communication between the human being and the environment that surrounds him as he searches for his identity is exposed by the subject’s melancholy: a deep emptiness in his facial expression and gesture as he interacts with the world around him.

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!

Please come by and see our new artisans and their works of art timed perfectly for your Christmas shopping. Exhibition for the month of December, store hours apply.

The Left of Centre Theatre Company is very happy to present its second pantomime: Puss in Boots. Come see how the Big Bad Ogre terrifies the kingdom of King Eric, how the very clever Puss assists Harry, the poor miller's son, to trick the Ogre (by using special magic of course!) and how Puss helps Harry win the heart of the beautiful Princess. Puss in Boots, a pantomime, is for both the young and young at heart and again enjoys having lots of audience participation. Directed by Simone Nichol, starring Leanna Glance, Margaret Owen, Heather Huff, Anne-Marie Saheb and Michael Panich.

In this show, spectators can expect to witness juggling, acrobatics, roue Cyr, live music and clown, all seamlessly interwoven into a sublime narrative arc. A show for adults that children will thoroughly enjoy, both comic and poetic, the show invokes the precarious balance of familial relationships and loyalties through the circus disciplines it employs. It is a meditation on the power and vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and an invitation to succumb to the collective imagination.

Playing Wednesday to Sunday at 8:30pm with Sunday matinees at 3:00pm. Last evening performance is Saturday Dec 6th.
