"Tap
Dogs"
The Reinvention of Tap Dancing
Original Design & Direction by Nigel Triffitt
Music Composed by Andrew Wilkie
Created & Choreographed by Dein Perry
It starts like a rainstorm ... just a drizzle ... the
pitter-patter of a lone tapper. But before you know it,
the stage is rumbling, sparks are flying, and six incredible
male dancers are stamping their way across a construction-site
set made of steel.
Winner of eleven international awards, Tap Dogs has played
to rave reviews across North America, Europe, Asia, and
Australia. Running at 90 minutes, without intermission,
this spectacle is guaranteed to provoke as the sheer grit
and unruly spirit of swaggering workmen is combined with
the awe-inspiring fortitude of precision tap dancing.
Don't miss the energy...don't miss the sweat...don't miss
the hottest show on legs - the reinvention of tap for
the new millennium |

2011 Figure Drawing Workshop with Mark Tumber
Come out of the cold this winter and enjoy this unique life drawing class. Each of the seven classes will have a different clothed model of various age, body type and wardrobe. Instruction will be given at the onset of every class, stressing means of achieving accurate proportion, foreshortening, base value, experessive vs. realistic work and even an introduction to using the model to create a surrealistic rendering. After each instruction there will be an innovative warm-up activity with the model and then a sustained pose. I will constantly circulate and offer assistance to every student, regardless of their skill level.
Coffee & tea will be served every week. |

The Huronia Players are introducing a new program for both young actors and theatre techies in the Midland area to improve their skills and enjoy the summer.
Some of the Huronia Players’ most experienced adult actors and directors, including Sue Cook, Doug Ironside and Ron Payne, will be leading workshop sessions.
This is a rather unique program in three specific areas:
1. It targets an age group often overlooked, the 16 yrs – 22 yr group.
2. Classes are in the evenings so students working can schedule the classes in around their other responsibilities.
3. Instruction will include various technical aspects of stage show production, such as light and sound, in addition to pure acting.
‘This program is an excellent compliment to our proven Youth Academy of past seasons, and offers a stepping stone opportunity for young adults to blend into the adult company for our upcoming fall and winter season” explains Huronia Players President Susan Cook.
Coaches and actors will decide what the outcome of the summer will be - skits, or one act plays, or improv, or who knows what else. Sessions will be 2 evenings a week in July and August.

The Blank Page Writers present…“Secret of Writing a Page-turner”
Ever stayed up all night reading a book? In this workshop, we'll show you how to
build that kind of tension. And we'll help you put into practice the techniques professionals
use - on every page and in every kind of story - to create drama and tension.
Workshop leader Brian Henry has been a book editor and creative writing teacher for
more than 25 years. His proudest boast is that he’s helped many of his students get
published and to launch their careers as authors.
