SUMMARY:ElderQueers (2SLGBTQIA+) Storytelling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Elder Queer (2SLGBTQIA+) Storytelling with Mary Ellen MacLean \n\n\n\nBack by popular demand\, this summer session is open to folks who have never written a story and to those who have. If you have attended one of Mary Ellen’s workshops before\, you are welcome to come back and develop your storytelling skills. Mary Ellen has over 30 years of experience creating work for the stage and collaborating with people of all ages and experience. \n\n\n\nDuring this weeklong workshop the group will meet daily with Mary Ellen to learn some tools/skills in the art of creating a story for the stage and how to perform/tell them. Stories can be serious or comic or a blend of both. Participants may use movement\, puppets\, music – however you want to tell your story\, all are welcome! \n\n\n\nThis workshop offers an opportunity to gather\, deepen your community connections\, and create stories with the support of each other and Mary Ellen’s guidance. The focus is on having FUN\, learning some new skills\, and connecting with each other. \n\n\n\nFamily and friends are invited to the final session to hear the participant’s stories.

SUMMARY:Sane Inside Insanity - The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror
DESCRIPTION:Did you know the first time North American audiences ever laid eyes on The Rocky Horror Picture Show\, it happened right here in Ottawa? On August 15\, 1975\, the Canadian Film Institute (CFI) introduced audiences to an indie movie that would later become one of the world’s most legendary cult films. \n\n\n\nFifty years to the day\, join us for the premiere of a new documentary\, Sane Inside Insanity – The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror\, which uncovers the wild and incredible true story behind Rocky Horror’s rise and its status as a worldwide phenomenon. This lively and entertaining documentary offers a deep dive into the remarkable chapter of cinema history that began right here in Ottawa. \n\n\n\nRelive a legendary moment in cult movie history by celebrating Rocky Horror’s incredible legacy and the 90th Anniversary of the CFI. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is a fundraiser event for the CFI; membership benefits do not apply to this screening. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSane Inside Insanity – The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror chronicles the evolution of this shaggy\, randy\, raucous drag musical\, from its controversial arrival on London’s independent theatre scene to its complex development as a screenplay to its glorious film version\, which had its North American premiere in Ottawa on August 15\, 1975. Featuring rare footage of early theatrical productions of the show\, interviews with cast members past and present (Tim Curry\, Richard O’Brien\, Barry Bostwick)\, and testimonials by fans who embraced and are still embracing the film\, this revealing documentary tells the amazing\, utterly unlikely story of how this movie became (and remains!) a worldwide pop culture sensation.
