SUMMARY:Pender Harbour Community Hall: A Pair o’ Norms
DESCRIPTION:Two Norm Foster “paranormal” one-act plays: \nThe Death of Me\nWhen John bargains with the Angel of Death for a second chance at life\, he quickly discovers that fixing the mistakes of your past is difficult\, and that perhaps his destiny is not yet etched in stone. Directed by Justin Huston \nMy Narrator\nImagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head—the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make—suddenly took on a life of its own? For Lacy and Miles\, love is what happens\, and with hilarious results. Directed by Lynn McDonald

SUMMARY:SC Arts Centre: Sunday Film Series: The Stand
DESCRIPTION:We close the series with The Stand\, a film by Christopher Auchter that honours the Elders\, activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the Haida Nation—and for all of Canada. In the fall of 1985\, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island—and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land\, sovereignty and environmental justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying archival footage\, The Stand immerses us in the tension\, courage and quiet humanity of that moment.\nDoors at 3:30; Entrance by donation

SUMMARY:Ravens Cry Theatre: Film Showing: The Blue Trail
DESCRIPTION:Brazil 2025\, 89 min\, Drama\nDirector: Gabriel Mascaro\nStarring: Denise Weinberg\, Rodrigo Santoro\, Miriam Socarras \nPortuguese with English subtitles \nSometime in the future\, the Brazilian government has implemented a policy of sending persons of 75 and older to a colony\, to conserve resources and presumably to comfortably live the last years of their lives. Teresa\, who at 77 was still working in a factory\, defies the order to leave and instead embarks on a journey seeking her one dream: to ride in an airplane. \nAlthough she has some resources\, including her life savings and her own determination\, she is challenged by needing her daughter’s permission to even buy a ticket and by being sought by authorities. She succeeds and her magical journey begins.

SUMMARY:GPAG: Print Out of the Box with Saskia Jetten
DESCRIPTION:April 17 and 24\, 6pm – 9pm. How do you print IN the box? How do you play OUT of the box? A two session print workshop with Saskia Jetten. Practice a series of small print exercises that you can also build on in your own time to play\, get unstuck\, generate ideas\, and get your creative process flowing. Sessions are on Fridays April 17 & April 24\, from 6pm – 9pm each day. Tickets are $165 for both sessions with a discount for GPAG Members. There is a max. of 10 people\, so register online via EventBrite soon! \nSaskia Jetten is a contemporary fine artist and printmaker who gratefully resides in the swiya of the shíshálh Nation where she operates a printshop and artist studio. Continually exploring boundaries of printmaking with drawing at the base of it\, Saskia has exhibited internationally and received numerous prizes and grants. She immigrated in 2012\, mid-career\, from the Netherlands to the Canadian West Coast to build upon her experience and skills\, shake up\, broaden and challenge her views and art practice. Saskia nourishes the roots from both worlds in her being. Her art work touches on themes related to theatre\, identity\, and interpersonal relationships. The print-based work balances between fine and applied arts and takes shape in traditional prints on paper\, hand printed shawls and scarves to print-based installations and animation. A broad experience of over 30 years (international) teaching printmaking and fine art completes her practice.

SUMMARY:“Stealing Like an Artist” Painting Workshop with Marlene Lowden
DESCRIPTION:If you’re ready to get your hands seriously messy\, join me for a two-day painting extravaganza inspired by the idea that great artists gather\, remix\, and make it their own. Across these two days\, we’ll play\, experiment\, and make art that’s all yours\, inspired by sparks you find in other artists’ work. And yes\, we’ll be guided by David Bowie’s glorious wisdom: “The only art I’ll ever study is the stuff that I can steal from.” \nThis workshop is best for folks who have some painting experience (or who joined me for the previous weekend) —you don’t need to be a pro\, just comfy enough with your materials to dive in and explore.
