SUMMARY:How to Write an Autobiographical Monologue
DESCRIPTION:We all have stories only we can tell. These are precious\, and should be shared. They help us understand our history and our lives. Keir Cutler\, who has written ten original monologues\, many of them autobiographical\, will share his insights and vast knowledge. Presented by the Atwater Writers Exhibition. \nThis writing activity takes place following Keir’s performance of his most recent monologue\, Magnificence\, named Best English Text at the 2019 Montreal Fringe Festival\, for the Library’s Lunchtime Series\, 12:30 to 1:30 pm — make an afternoon of it! \nKeir Cutler has performed his solo shows across Canada\, the US\, and UK since 1999. He is best known for his award-winning Teaching Shakespeare and his adaptation of Mark Twain’s Is Shakespeare Dead? He has been called “formidably delightful\,” (Off-Off Broadway Review)\, and “an assured and mesmerizing monologist” (Maisonneuve Magazine). Keir was born in Montreal and graduated from McGill University\, the National Theatre School of Canada (playwriting)\, and Wayne State University (MA\, PhD). \nThis event is taking place on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka.\nFREE. Generously supported by the Community Cultural Action Fund (CCAF) of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

SUMMARY:Wiebke von Carolsfeld launches Claremont
DESCRIPTION:Join us in launching Wiebke von Carolsfeld’s Claremont! \nHow to survive the unthinkable? This is the question\nnine-year-old Tom has to face after witnessing his parent’s murder-suicide. After the horrific event\, Tom refuses to speak. At first\, he moves in with his childless Aunt Sonya\, but she is ill equipped to deal with the traumatized boy. Before long\, Tom is forced to move again\, this time to Claremont Street in downtown Toronto\, where he shares a run-down house with his mercurial Aunt Rose and his reckless yet endearing Uncle Will. As the seasons change\, Tom’s silence becomes a powerful presence\, allowing this fractured family to hear one another for the first time— and for Tom to finally find a home. Claremont is a gripping story of one family’s journey through grief and toward healing. \nWiebke von Carolsfeld is a writer and filmmaker living in Montreal. She has directed three critically acclaimed feature films (Marion Bridge\, Stay\, The Saver)\, winning numerous awards. She is a renowned feature film editor and has taught classes internationally on screenwriting\, filmmaking\, and the creative process. Claremont is her first novel. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly recognizes that our events and bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home\, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. This has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. It is important to think about how each and every one of us has arrived here. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years and we urge you to seek out a story that is different from your own. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLa Petite Drawn and Quarterly Accessibility information: \n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n– It is not a sober space\, our events sometimes offer alcohol. \n♥️ Please email events@drawnandquarterly.com if you have any accessibility needs we can accommodate (for example\, saving you a seat if you have mobility needs) for you to be able to enjoy our events\, worry-free\, and feel free to contact us for any concerns you may have ♥️
