GROUNDWORKS
Online Training Weekend
Solo Chicken Productions is thrilled to announce that we are launching GROUNDWORKS; a fully online weekend of performance training workshops aimed at offering artists access to world-class instructors in a diverse array of performing arts – all from the safety of their homes. Groundworks offerings are intended to spur creative challenges, ignite disruption, and create space for the mind and body of the performer to grow.
Always looking for silver linings, one of the unexpected positive outcomes of the pandemic and resulting move to online teaching is that artists across the globe are adapting their craft and are now willing to teach online. Solo Chicken wanted to take advantage of this movement and help fellow New Brunswick artists and folks beyond, connect with a truly stellar line-up of instructors that previously would have been challenging to access. Solo Chicken knows that nothing can replace live interaction but in challenging times the act of coming together and sharing skills, even though ZOOM can be a powerful creative catalyst and connector.

Call to action from FAME – Event Sector Support Campaign
A message from Martin Roy of FAME (Festivals and Major Events Canada)
The return to normal will not occur in 2021. It would be unrealistic to expect that we could restart our activities in full by next summer. We must convince public health authorities to approve innovative proposals that would allow us to maximize our capacity to generate profits and survive the crisis. The formulas employed by drive-in concerts and socially distanced concerts that we have already seen around the world can serve as a starting point for coming up with these types of ideas.
This is what we need the Federal government to recognize, and why we are today launching what we are calling the “Events Sector Support Campaign.”
Why now? Because the federal budget is currently being conceived, Minister Guilbeault will be making his Departmental asks the Minister of Finance, and the party caucus will also be putting pressure on having the needs of their local communities addressed in the budget. Now is the time where decisions will be made for action in 2021, notably with regard to financial aid for festivals and events.
For this reason, we are asking for members to take the following actions over the coming weeks:
If you have not already spoken with your local Member of Parliament since the beginning of the crisis, now is the time. We suggest that you communicate with your elected official to explain your situation in relation to some of FAME’s recommendations for Canada’s touristic and economic recovery. Specifically, we are hoping that you can ask your MP to speak with and write to both Ministers Guilbeault and Freeland (the Minister of Finance) in support of our recommendations.
To that end, we are providing a template that you can use and adapt as you see fit.
