Each day in October, we'll come together to discover, experience and create theatre together.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">This year, we're investigating how the personal is political. How do our own stories, what we put on the stage of every day life and in the theatre, reflect our own mission statement in the world and the way we see it or wish it to be?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Living Room is an intimate space, perfect for bringing artists and community members together; reservation or registration is <u><span style="color: #990000;">strongly recommended</span></u> and/or required as noted with each event posting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For inquiries, or to reserve a place in workshops, special events or performances please email dapopolivein@gmail.com</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the event that registration or reservation lists fill up, we will be making waiting lists. Experience has shown that people will cancel, so don't hold back from requesting a space even if something is full! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>CANCELLATIONS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are relying solely on donations at the door to support the Live-In this year. If you cannot attend an event as planned, please let us know immediately - particularly for workshops - so that someone might take your place. Or consider donating anyway! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;">COSTS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DaPoPo is committed to making theatre accessible to all community members. Therefore, most events are by suggested donation and no one will be turned away. However, we value our artists and their art, and lets face it, there are costs to putting on this festival which volunteer hours just can't pay... so we do suggest a minimum donation of $10 per event / workshop session from those who are able. (Cash only please). Tax receipts may be available for donations of $10 or more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For $75, you get a "Key to the Living Room" in the form of a punch card good for 10 events. <span style="color: #990000;">Pre-registration and reservation of events is required to guarantee your festival spot.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're throwing open the doors of the Living Room for a drop-in early evening. Mix</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and mingle, eat some snacks, play some games, enjoy some drinks, and win some prizes</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.

<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">“Honey&Jupiter” </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">is a musing on how personal problems/addictions are egged on and agitated by the stigma that surround them. In this case, how the innate fear of inadequacy instilled in a young woman manifests as a passionate kinship with her own (personified) anorexia. The show’s goal is to act as a new and grounded voice for people whose voices are skewed or silenced by their suffering -- a feast of language, movement, and the bare-bones exposure of what it feels like to BE the illness, and to live with the sickness. The foundation is rooted in the unglamorous, the emotional, the private. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Workshop: </i>Speaking in Silence </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Facilitator: Alexis Milligan</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A body standing alone in space says something. The choice to move is ours to make. But, how? When? Why? As actors we are often making choices about our characters and our intentions in what we say with our voice, but we can also access many more layers to support these choices in how, when and why we move. This workshop will explore the sub textual world of communication through simple physical intention and gesture, and the power of speaking in silence. This iteration of the workshop is in two parts over sequential days; participants are meant to attend both Friday and Saturday. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pre-registration required. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Max. 12 participants</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Budgets, grants, fundraising and favours, contracts, venues, the buzz and the bizz... the brass tacks and knuckles of producing a play. Mary-Colin Chisholm is either a sage and seasoned veteran of the indie show or the incarnation of Einstein's dictum "Insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results". You be the judge. She will walk you through the steps and missteps in mounting a production. If you can make thrift store duds look like red carpet glam, if you can cook a nourishing stone soup, well you can probably DIY your own play. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pre-registration required. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Max. 12 participants</span></div>

I would ask participants to bring a BRIEF idea for a play (a page long description is fine) or questions about writing plays, or difficulties they have encountered in beginning to write a play or working on a play. The workshop will open with a lecture on playwrighting and will continue on to a discussion of participant ideas and questions. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Pre-registration required. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Max. 12 participants</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">As a teacher and director, Ann-Marie Kerr has a unique ability to take actors and theatre-makers beyond their own preconceived limits of their physicality and imaginations. She uses Lecoq methods to ignite the creation process and offers ways of getting the actor to play and imagine that makes them feel free. The exploration is primarily physical in its approach and helps students identify their natural instincts for play. There is a focus on freedom through improvisation and on finding ways to access a natural pleasure to play and invent. In the work, discoveries are made about play, its rules, how the rules arise out of the play itself and can push the game further than expected. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This i</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ntensive workshop culminates with short pieces of theatre created by the participants -pieces that could be used as starting points for scenes or future full-length shows. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Max. 12 participants</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><i>Celestina </i>is a contemporary piece set over three days in Inquisition ravaged Spain during the dawn of the Renaissance. Celestina is an ancient woman, the sole survivor of an ancient ‘witchcraft’ religion. Her brothel flourished when conquistador gold flowed, but now lives in an age of terror – until the lure of gold drags her back to her old ways. This new adaptation based on “The Tragic Comedy of Calisto and Melibea”, written by Fernando Rojas in 1502, uses vaudeville language and action to power its story. The reading will be introduced by Roberta Barker</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A body standing alone in space says something. The choice to move is ours to make. But, how? When? Why? As actors we are often making choices about our characters and our intentions in what we say with our voice, but we can also access many more layers to support these choices in how, when and why we move. This workshop will explore the sub textual world of communication through simple physical intention and gesture, and the power of speaking in silence. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pre-registration required. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Max. 12 participants</span><br />

We will then collaboratively go into doing and not talking. This dance will fail to clarify anything for you. Those seeking meaning in exercises will be asked to internally address this human tendency. There will be room for brief discussion between each experiment for those seeking to accomodate a recipe. Aiming to contrast business-as-usual-thinking, we will be pushing to exaggerate life in scale (bigger OR smaller), whilst being in community together. </span></div>

She went from humble beginnings to become the music director for CKLW, a radio station in Windsor, Ont., and wielded incredible influence over the North American music scene in the 1960s and 70s. She earned the nickname “The Girl With the Golden Ear” because of her ability to pick hit songs. More noteworthy, she was instrumental in advancing the concept of the crossover hit and helped bring black and white together during a period of racial strife. Despite the success -- and admirable claim to fame -- CKLW succumbed to an unlikely and unbeatable foe.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Honey & Jupiter</b> by Meghan Hubley (Halifax, NS)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">“Honey&Jupiter” </i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">is a musing on how personal problems/addictions are egged on and agitated by the stigma that surround them. In this case, how the innate fear of inadequacy instilled in a young woman manifests as a passionate kinship with her own (personified) anorexia. The show’s goal is to act as a new and grounded voice for people whose voices are skewed or silenced by their suffering -- a feast of language, movement, and the bare-bones exposure of what it feels like to BE the illness, and to live with the sickness. The foundation is rooted in the unglamorous, the emotional, the private. </span></span><br />

She came to Canada from Norway in 2000, got a BA from Dal Theatre four years later, and has only rarely looked back since. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">In 2010, she co-founded local company The Doppler Effect to pursue staging provocative new works of drama - her own and others'. The company has since then mounted six productions, the latest of which - 'Heartwood' by Laura Burke, directed by Annie Valentina - is touring to Ontario this month and getting a Halifax remount in the new year. As an actor and playwright, Annie is fresh off her autobiographical one-woman show 'Alien', which debuted in the 2013 Atlantic Fringe and received the festival award for Best Female Performer. She also wrote and starred in 'Touch', a Doppler Effect production for Queer Acts 2012; and co-wrote and starred in 'CU2morrow', a 2011 play which has been adapted to a feature film and will go to camera in 2014 under the title 'Lure'. Other notable acting credits include 'Bone Boy' (Frankie Productions, 2012) and 'Pluto's Playthings' (Plutonium Playhouse 2012), as well as appearances in locally filmed TV series Sex & Violence (2013) and Haven (2012). Annie is thrilled to be involved in the Live-In this year, having last kicked it with DaPoPo in 2009 as part of the creative team/touring company of 'Four Actors in Search</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Celestina </i>is a contemporary piece set over three days in Inquisition ravaged Spain during the dawn of the Renaissance. Celestina is an ancient woman, the sole survivor of an ancient ‘witchcraft’ religion. Her brothel flourished when conquistador gold flowed, but now lives in an age of terror – until the lure of gold drags her back to her old ways. This new adaptation based on “The Tragic Comedy of Calisto and Melibea”, written by Fernando Rojas in 1502, uses vaudeville language and action to power its story. The reading will be introduced by Roberta Barker</span><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: 11px;">. </span></span></div>

The choice to move is ours to make. But, how? When? Why? As actors we are often making choices about our characters and our intentions in what we say with our voice, but we can also access many more layers to support these choices in how, when and why we move. This workshop will explore the sub textual world of communication through simple physical intention and gesture, and the power of speaking in silence. (The first offering of the workshop is in two parts and participants should attend both Friday and Saturday. The added workshop on Oct 17 is one night only.) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Max. 12 participants</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a teacher and director, Ann-Marie Kerr has a unique ability to take actors and theatre-makers beyond their own preconceived limits of their physicality and imaginations. She uses Lecoq methods to ignite the creation process and offers ways of getting the actor to play and imagine that makes them feel free. The exploration is primarily physical in its approach and helps students identify their natural instincts for play. There is a focus on freedom through improvisation and on finding ways to access a natural pleasure to play and invent. In the work, discoveries are made about play, its rules, how the rules arise out of the play itself and can push the game further than expected. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This i</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ntensive workshop culminates with short pieces of theatre created by the participants -pieces that could be used as starting points for scenes or future full-length shows.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This workshop will begin with a brief presentation/performance of my experiences at Bread and Puppet Theatre over the summers of 2012 and 2013. We will then collaboratively go into doing and not talking. This dance will fail to clarify anything for you. Those seeking meaning in exercises will be asked to internally address this human tendency. There will be room for brief discussion between each experiment for those seeking to accomodate a recipe. Aiming to contrast business-as-usual-thinking, we will be pushing to exaggerate life in scale (bigger OR smaller), whilst being in community together. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>brian riley.</b> I am a creative thinker, problem solver, and inventor. Likes: Building spaces to engage a sense of magic. Manipulating objects performatively to convey a sense of sacredness; then doing its opposite. Dislikes/cheerfully challenged by: popular theatre as it exists today. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am grateful to have worked with Dapopo Theatre on 'The Drinking Game', collaboratively with Zuppa Theatre, Secret Theatre, as well as Bread and Puppet Theatre Company (based out of Vermont). My biggest little teachers are the youth. I run a youth program called Spiral Studio Lab and hope to subvert the current education systems as much as possible. </span></div>

She came to Canada from Norway in 2000, got a BA from Dal Theatre four years later, and has only rarely looked back since. In 2010, she co-founded local company The Doppler Effect to pursue staging provocative new works of drama - her own and others'. The company has since then mounted six productions, the latest of which - 'Heartwood' by Laura Burke, directed by Annie Valentina - is touring to Ontario this month and getting a Halifax remount in the new year. As an actor and playwright, Annie is fresh off her autobiographical one-woman show 'Alien', which debuted in the 2013 Atlantic Fringe and received the festival award for Best Female Performer. She also wrote and starred in 'Touch', a Doppler Effect production for Queer Acts 2012; and co-wrote and starred in 'CU2morrow', a 2011 play which has been adapted to a feature film and will go to camera in 2014 under the title 'Lure'. Other notable acting credits include 'Bone Boy' (Frankie Productions, 2012) and 'Pluto's Playthings' (Plutonium Playhouse 2012), as well as appearances in locally filmed TV series Sex & Violence (2013) and Haven (2012). Annie is thrilled to be involved in the Live-In this year, having last kicked it with DaPoPo in 2009 as part of the creative team/touring company of 'Four Actors in Search </span></span><span aria-live="polite" class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"type":45,"tn":"*G"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px; outline: none; text-align: left; width: auto;" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"></span></span><br />
