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:Blanket Exercise - Community Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The CHC would like to invite members of the community to participate in the KAIROD Blanket Exercise March 16th and 18th and gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous experiences in Canada. We are honoured to have Ktunaxa Elder\, Margaret Teneese\, host this program in collaboration with the Cranbrook History Centre. \nWhat Is The KAIROS Blanket Exercise? \nDeveloped in collaboration with Indigenous Elders\, Knowledge Keepers and educators\, the KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE) is an interactive and experiential teaching tool that explores the historic and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the land we now know as Canada. \nDuring this 2 to 3-hour workshop\, participants step on blankets representing the land and into the role of First Nations\, Inuit and Métis peoples. They are guided by trained facilitators\, including Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers\, who work from a script that covers pre-contact\, treaty-making\, colonization\, resistance and much more. Participants read scrolls and respond to cues in the script. The KBE concludes with a debriefing\, conducted as a talking circle\, during which participants discuss the learning experience\, process their feelings\, ask questions\, share insights\, and deepen their understanding. \nOver the past two decades\, thousands of KAIROS Blanket Exercises have been delivered in Canada and around the world\, including in the United States\, Central and South America\, Europe\, and Australia. By engaging participants on both emotional and intellectual levels\, the KBE both educates and creates empathy and understanding. \nThe KAIROS Blanket Exercise at the Cranbrook History Centre is led by a KAIROS trained facilitator and local Ktunaxa Elders. \nReconciliation through Education – We agree with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada that education is the key to reconciliation. Without a shared understanding of how our collective past brought us to where we are today\, we will not be able to walk together into a better future. We also understand that education is just one step in this journey and that it must be followed by action. \n  \nREGISTRATION HERE

By engaging participants on both emotional and intellectual levels\, the KBE both educates and creates empathy and understanding. \nThe KAIROS Blanket Exercise at the Cranbrook History Centre is led by a KAIROS trained facilitator and local Ktunaxa Elders. \nReconciliation through Education – We agree with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada that education is the key to reconciliation. Without a shared understanding of how our collective past brought us to where we are today\, we will not be able to walk together into a better future. We also understand that education is just one step in this journey and that it must be followed by action. \n  \nREGISTRATION HERE
