SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Puppets\, Performance\, and the Pursuit of Art in Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Royal Alexandra Hall on Wednesday\, August 28th at 7:00pm to be educated\, entertained and inspired by artist Marcel Dou Roig\, the man behind the “iconic elephant mascot Ed” showcased during Ed Fest 2023! \nMarcel will be sharing his process and passion for art through a presentation and improv performance\, including dancing\, painting\, and playing piano! \nFREE REGISTRATION \n  \nArtist’s BIO \nMarcel Dou Roig has been a performer for 25 years. His initial interest and pursuit of the arts began in his native hometown Sant Celoni\, a small town near Barcelona Spain. He was introduced to the stage theatre in his teens\, where he performed in several productions in the community theatre until he decided to move to Barcelona and become a professional actor. During his time in Barcelona\, he studied theatre\, dance\, and voice technique while performing in professionally. He was professionally showing in theatre\, cinema\, television\, and a variety of different street performances\, from tap dancing\, to street puppets.  With the company Sarruga\, he travelled Europe and South America building and performing with street puppets. These giant/oversized animals and insects were showcased in the streets of cities and towns for festivals and festivities. During this time Marcel was able to learn the mechanics and staging of these fantastic shows during his time with them. \nMarcel spent several years performing as a professional with different companies. He also created his own shows and performances while in Barcelona. But\, he eventually moved to New York City to further his learning. He studied dance and theatre in all capacities\, he also created his own dance company and performed some of his creations in NYC. Marcel has always valued learning about all different types of arts and dedicated himself to performing with different companies. One of which was focused on dancing with horses. It was a site specific company that made dance compositions with horses utilizing horsemanship techniques. It was  a unique show and experience because it travelled to different locations using different horses each time. To further develop his horsemanship\, Marcel moved to Florida\, were he studied  under very prestigious horse trainers in the show Arabian Nights in Orlando as a performer and horseback rider. \nWhile in Florida Marcel met his partner and they both moved to Canada.  Marcel took some time off from performing while starting a family. Now Marcel and his family call Cranbrook home as of October 2022. He is now ready to continue and build upon his passion in the arts. He has recently performed in the latest Key City Theatre production “Cabaret\,” and is thrilled to share his passion for the arts with this wonderful community.

SUMMARY:Town Hall - Museum Interpretive Concept
DESCRIPTION:The Cranbrook History Centre invites you to share your stories\, thoughts and feedback on our new Draft Museum Interpretive Concept. This will be an interactive meeting hosted by Melanie Greenaway of Double Dare Designs and Don Enrich from Don Enrich Consulting. This is your opportunity to explore the zones and narratives throughout the document with Melanie and Don\, asking questions and providing your thoughts. Throughout the meeting we will be using a polling software called Menti. We recommend for participants to have a smartphone\, a tablet\, or a browser window open to interact with the polls. More instructions will be provided at the meeting. \nIn 2024\, the Cranbrook History Centre engaged Double Dare Design to re-envision our visitor experience\, with a particular focus on developing a permanent exhibition in a currently unoccupied space in the building and a self-guided tour of the railcar collection. Double Dare has also conducted a high-level assessment of the other public-facing spaces that form part of the visitor experience. Based on this analysis\, the document outlines recommendations for visitor experience upgrades throughout the venue. Like all museums\, regular updates to infrastructure\, exhibitions\, and programs are necessary to engage the public and remain relevant to the Museum’s audiences. \nExplore the document: Here \nIf you’re unable to attend the online meeting\, the website invites you to provide your thoughts throughout by use the comment section on the bottom of each page. \n  \nRegister for the meeting: Here\n  \n
