The Lunchbox Interview: Ian Goff & Dylan Sealy of Next Folding Theatre Company for “10, 9, 8, etc., etc”

Posted on 2014-11-21 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Traditional theatre follows a process (I imagine) something like this: Playwright writes a play. Director gets play, casts play. Actors perform play. But what if you took that process and compressed it to: People get together, write the script, act in the script and direct each other. That the process behind the Creative Collaboration series

The Lunchbox Interview: Julian Christie on Games Day at the Library

Posted on 2014-11-20 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Games are fun. That’s really the point: to enjoy your time, with friends, while playing at something. Of course, they can be much more than that: they can be educational; they can be challenging; they can be inspirational; they can be expressive; they can be… Well, they can be a whole lot of cool things. This

The Lunchbox Interview: Misha Milchenko on Trans Day of Remembrance

Posted on 2014-11-19 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Human beings are complicated. This is true in so many ways, but one of the ways that the world is coming to understand more and more is in the area of sexual identity. The binary concept of “male” and “female” has been inadequate to describe the full range of identities, not least of which because it combines

The Lunchbox Interview: Sarah Beth Shiplet of Music On The Hill

Posted on 2014-11-19 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Movies have soundtracks. It’s something we often take for granted these days, but as a soundtrack collector, I’m still immediately aware of the dramatic effect a good soundtrack can have — and the detrimental distraction a missing or bad soundtrack can create. But once upon a time, moving pictures and music were just getting to know

The Lunchbox Interview: Toni DaRussio, Filmmaker

Posted on 2014-11-17 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

The world of films is the land of make believe. At 20+ frames per second, we are shown the illusion of motion, tied to the accomplice of sound, and then transplanted into a story, sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for several hours. Done well, and with the other willing accomplice — our own minds — the

The Lunchbox Interview: Shelder The Electric Clamfish

Posted on 2014-11-14 by encaf1 Posted in General, The Lunchbox

There’s something to be said for live music, for experiencing an artist who’s playing right in front of you, for you. Today, I had the good fortune to have a front-row studio seat to a delightful performer with a pearled accordion, a young woman from BC who goes by the stage name of Shelder The Electric Clamfish.

The Lunchbox Interview: Melissa Leblanc, Drama UNB

Posted on 2014-11-13 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Ah, the power of the stage! We are surrounded by drama, but most of it is disconnected, flat, prerecorded, editted, pre-processed and, in a way, dead. Give me the stage, with performers mere feet away, real humans who are dressing up in clothes and emotions, delivering speech and movement to convey a story far bigger than what

The Lunchbox Interviews: Britany Sparrow (“Here Without You”, “Gary”) and Ryan Griffith (TNB, Next Folding Theatre Company)

Posted on 2014-11-06 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I am constantly amazed by the level and breadth of artistic talent in and around this city. We often get a chance to celebrate the great music, from regular performances at venues like The Capital Complex, The Cellar and The Playhouse. This weekend, we celebrate drama, both in cinema and in theatre. Opening today are two

The Lunchbox Interview: Chuck Bowie, Author

Posted on 2014-11-04 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

It’s November, and for a great many people around the world, it’s time to write. NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month is a challenge to produce a novel-length work (50,000 words) in the month of November. If you do the math, that’s about 1,500 words a day! Not everybody can write that fast. Most, like my

The Lunchbox Interviews: Jack Ward, Jenn Russell

Posted on 2014-10-31 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I have always loved stories, whether they are in a book, spoken aloud, acted on stage or screened on TV or the movies. One of my favourite ways to experience them is acted in audio form, what is often called audio drama. This past Thursday was World Audio Drama Day, an expansion of the National Audio Drama Day,

The Lunchbox Double Interview: White Ribbon & Brain Tumour Foundation

Posted on 2014-10-30 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

The world is a complicated place — or is it? Fundamentally, love and kindness — as well as knowledge and communication — make the world a better place. That is very evident in the pair of interviews I had today. First, Jennifer Richard and Barry MacKnight join me to talk about the White Ribbon Campaign,

The Lunchbox: Interview about Theatre UNB’s “Les Belles-soeurs”

Posted on 2014-10-29 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I love good theatre. It moves you in a way that a movie can’t touch, engages you like a book made manifest. It transcends language and place, yet can be just as rooted in it. Les Belles-soeurs is a celebrated French play by Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay. Theatre UNB, under the direction and leadership of

The Lunchbox: Dr. Krista Wilkins, Cancer Researcher

Posted on 2014-10-24 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Almost everyone knows someone who has gone through cancer — and many people have gone through it themselves. Worse yet, a lot of people have to endure the process multiple times. But how much do we know about that experience? Dr Krista Wilkins is no stranger to cancer herself, having battled and triumphed over the disease. It

The Lunchbox: East Coast Love Story

Some people just radiate togetherness and happiness. That’s my immediate sense from meeting the members of East Coast Love Story, a Moncton-based band currently visiting Fredericton to take in the MusicNB Festival. These guys aren’t just a band — they’re friends, housemates and sincerely cool cats. Join me as I do my own style of

We are a country of trees. They surround us; they have allowed us to build houses, mills, factories. They heat our homes and are a sturdy base for furniture. They are the substance of art, and celebration, and peace. There is a special kind of person, however, who can chop a tree, saw a log, climb

The Lunchbox: Interview: Martin Parnell for Right To Play

Posted on 2014-10-07 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

It’s a kid’s right to play. This is something that many people take for granted. Yet, in many parts of the world, sports and energetic play are not available, often through poverty. Martin Parnell saw that first hand, on a bike tour through Africa. “I can help,” he said to himself, and set out to

Posted on 2014-09-24 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I am a man. That’s one of the statements I use to identify myself. What exactly that means, however, is a lifelong journey that I’m only in the middle of, and probably won’t have a final report by the time I’m done. Some things seem to hold universal, however, and the objective of the upcoming
