SUMMARY:Write Like a Pro
DESCRIPTION:Writing can be an act of catharsis\, a way of processing experiences during difficult times. Now\, more than ever\, we need to write our stories. \nThe Write Like a Pro workshop is designed to guide participants through the stylistic and technical elements that make a great piece of writing. It draws heavily from the art and craft of narrative non-fiction\, but is relevant for anyone who wants to communicate more effectively through the written word. The nut of it is: How do you make your truth compelling to others? \nOver the course of the workshop\, we’ll cover: shaping ideas; planning and organising material; elements of storytelling; wordcraft and style; finding your voice; tough-love editing; and\, finally\, putting your work out there. \nNow in its TENTH run\, the Write Like a Pro workshop puts special focus on practising techniques we learn in class through the process of developing\, writing\, and polishing a short (500- to 1000- word) non-fiction piece by the end of the workshop. For most people\, this requires setting aside an additional hour or so per week to write at home. \nIn each workshop\, we’ll spend part of the time reviewing techniques and examples\, and part of the time writing\, sharing work\, and providing feedback to others. Think of it like part writing class\, part writing circle. \nSo\, if you’ve been feeling the urge to write now more than ever\, don’t hesitate to sign up. \nColleen Kimmett is a Montreal-based writer and journalist. Colleen’s work has been published in The Walrus\, The Guardian\, Al Jazeera America\, Bright Magazine\, In These Times\, StatNews\, Arctic Deeply\, and beyond. Previously\, she was a senior editor at The Tyee and a founding editor of The Discourse. Currently\, she teaches a science communication course at McGill and is the community outreach coordinator for the Institute for Investigative Journalism. \nFor more details\, please see event link.

SUMMARY:King of Canada - World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Infinithéâtre is thrilled to welcome you home to the theatre with the world premiere of Paul Van Dyck’s tragicomic “King of Canada”! \nRecently included as part of our “Infinite Playwrights’ Chat Room” series\, “King of Canada” is a meta-theatrical political satire that puts William Lyon Mackenzie King\, Canada’s longest-serving prime minister\, under the microscope. Part séance\, part trial\, the man and his actions are put to judgement. And with him\, the actions of our nation. A look at the power of one\, lifted by the will of many. \nEllen David and Brian Dooley\, two celebrated stars of the Montreal theatre scene\, perform in this playful yet biting examination of legacy. Dooley incarnates King\, David brings many others to life; close to forty other characters including King’s mother\, FDR\, Churchill\, Hitler\, and three Irish terriers named Pat. \n“King of Canada” will run from October 20th to November 1st at KIN Gallery. Tickets are limited\, with a maximum audience size of 20 patrons per performance. \nTo purchase tickets\, visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/116771405417
