ACE Initiative: What is your artistic practice? <\/em><\/p>\n

I am an actor, playwright, musician and drama teacher. A passion of mine is writing historical theatre and creating community-based theatre events.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: Can you describe the process of, and the project that you are working on? <\/em><\/p>\n

When I first met with community coordinators at New Richmond, they were undecided on the kind of art project they wanted to have, but they knew very clearly what they wanted to see come out of it: a sense of pride in the community. Students at New Richmond come from the nearby villages of Maria, Gesgapegiag, and Cascapedia\/St.Jules.\u00a0 The Mi\u2019kmaq, French, English, Scottish and Irish all lay claim to the founding of the area. As a history buff, this intrigued me. So, I asked the community if they would be interested in creating a performance based on the history, and they said yes. To develop the play, the students and I have been going to local Seniors\u2019 homes and speaking with Elders. We\u2019ve then turned these stories into performance pieces. There were three phases of this project, first we had a phase where I was introducing drama and comedy and storytelling through workshops. Then we had a phase where we were documenting the stories and creating the script. Now we are in the rehearsal phase. All of the elementary students are performing, and some senior high students are supporting with music and dancing.\u00a0 Local musicians are also volunteering to play in the house band for the show. I am here for 5 weeks total.<\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: How do you see the students growing through your project? <\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

With the kids- it\u2019s the way it always is with kids, when there is music and art. It\u2019s really apparent to me when I\u2019m with kids who don\u2019t have these things. There have been students who were initially so shy, and who would never perform who are now really engaged.<\/p>\n

For example, recently, a girl who is so shy, and who I thought I might never break through to started singing to me. \u00a0Her teachers tell me she seems to be flourishing, even though she still won\u2019t perform in front of anyone but me. I thought, how is this going to impact the course of her life? There is another kid who I pegged as the sharpest knife in the drawer, and who I realized couldn\u2019t read, when we were reading a script. But he had such high emotional intelligence and really thrived in my workshops. It makes me think, that if he had arts regularly in his education, he might understand his worth and abilities differently like, \u201creading is a struggle for me, but I\u2019m worth it\u201d. In general, there has been a real growth of self-confidence in the students, through creating the play, and exploring facets of their personality through the drama, comedy and storytelling workshops.<\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: How has your own practice deepened through this project? <\/em><\/p>\n

I think that deepened is really the word. When you are up in front of the students all day teaching, it\u2019s like acting. Any teacher would tell you that. And I came here knowing no one. So, to connect, I needed to let all the newness of the community touch me. \u00a0Not acting in front of them, but being really me there with them. This investing in connection has in turn made this project about more than just teaching. It\u2019s connected me to the community which in turn is influencing my work.<\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: Can you think of an example of co-learning that you witnessed and participated in through this project? <\/em><\/p>\n

The teachers and I have been continuously surprised at what the kids have been coming up with. They\u2019ve been creating all of these songs and scripts from the stories of the Seniors and Elders- it\u2019s been really lovely to see. And in documenting the stories, the students have been learning history from their Elders. I know that everyone has been working to be open, and this in turn is helping me to be vulnerable and take more risks. \u00a0The teachers tell me everyday what exercises and games they will continue to use in the future.<\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: What is your vision of the future relationship of the arts to education? What do you think is the value of integrating the arts into education? <\/em><\/p>\n

I am going to advocate for integrating arts into education for the rest of my life. I started teaching about twelve years ago. I\u2019ve been an artist my whole life, and I didn\u2019t think that teaching was my calling. \u00a0I still don\u2019t. \u00a0It\u2019s really hard work! But I find that now, I can\u2019t stop. I can\u2019t un-see what I\u2019ve seen. The compassion and closeness that these projects engender. Art is play and playing is so valuable for developing authentic communication and relation skills. It also empowers kids and makes them less self-conscious. This impacts those who aren\u2019t even going to get on the stage. Having the opportunity to think creatively and develop empathetic skills is also so good for the brain.\u00a0 Also, selfishly, I know that if we aren\u2019t promoting creative thinking in schools, we won\u2019t have art in the future to enjoy.<\/p>\n

ACE Initiative: Did you observe any changes in particular that indicate the community or school will continue to support the arts? <\/em><\/p>\n

Definitely. Throughout the process, the teachers have been super supportive, and they\u2019ve been very willing to participate in all of the workshops I\u2019ve been doing and lend a hand in the production. The principal, when I first arrived, seemed sort of hesitant. But then people in the school and community started coming up to him and were like, \u201cHey, who is this person? She\u2019s doing stuff!\u201d. And he\u2019s been on board and has been very instrumental in helping me. Just recently, he told me that if the school can\u2019t get funding again through ELAN, he would like to find other funding to bring me back. A community up the coast (Gasp\u00e9) also just reached out about having a project in their school. The community of New Richmond has also been coming up to tell me of the joy that they see in their teachers and students through the project. So, everyone has been super supportive and helpful. Even today, I had two teachers and people from the local Irish association volunteer to perform with the older kids in the band. That everyone has been so involved and good to me indicates how much this sort of project is needed in communities like this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
