Closed Space Feedback Session for deaf and disabled artists Facilitated By: Paul Power The Halifax Fringe Festival turns 30 this year. The pandemic has offered ...us a forced pause on our typical programming and current realities of global outcries against injustice through the leadership of Black Lives Matter, Indigenous Sovereignty, and disability justice movements have further reaffirmed our organizational need to grow and welcome structural change. We want to critically look at our history, thoughtfully take stock in our actions, and make tangible commitments towards a stronger, more representative, and further inclusionary Fringe community and local creative sector. We especially want to make sure that we include the perspectives of deaf and disabled artists and BIPOC artists in the shaping of that future. If you are a theatre/performance artist, identify as a member of these communities and wish to participate in these feedback sessions, please register in advance to the session you’d like to attend. There are a limited number of spaces in each Zoom meeting. Each participant will be paid $75 for their time and feedback. Each closed space session will have a facilitator belonging to their community and not affiliated with The Halifax Fringe. Paul David Power has spent the past 20 years working as a writer, actor, director and communications professional in various mediums and for diverse organizations including dramatic script for the stage. His formal training includes holding a BA in English with a concentration in theatre and a BAA in Journalism. Paul has a long history in raising awareness and understanding about disability issues through his work as a playwright, columnist, director and actor. Tuesday September 29th 5pm to 6:30pm - Zoom To register email [email protected]

The second in the Lunchtime Theatre Performance Series, initiated to help local artists, happened today on the beautiful grounds of Government House with Stage ...Access: A Presentation of Contemporary Monologues directed by Paul David Power of Power Producations. The performance included Paul Power, Josh Menchions, Carrie Ann Bugden & Charlotte Peddle. The response from those in attendance was proof live performances are missed as much as the artists miss performing. Ticket sales for the event were managed by the artists who received all the proceeds. Power Productions hold theatre workshops to give those interested in an introductory experiment in performing for the stage. More information about the workshops is available at www.powerproductions.ca/stage-access.html.
