*****CALLING ALL ACTORS*****


Looking for actors for It's Thursday - a stage play.  It's a traumatic exploration of what comfort has come to mean for those who think they seek independence. Onyx is a woman who wants space to grow and be free, yet demands a place to be safe and comforted. She is a dissimulator, a paradox, a phenomonal expression of stasis and agency. It's Thursday, marries dramatic and poetic forms, crosses styles and genre, to explore where the bonds of the flesh, comfort and pride, are the tropes that trips, women and men alike, toward forward progression.


ROLES:


Tyson (Male, 25-30)
-          A strong yet completely insecure man who dominates his woman.  He needs to be menacing, have a thunderous presence but has a slight tender side.

Eco (Male, 25-30)
-          A sly poetic intelligent gypsy soul who tantalizes women with his words.  He needs to be bold, mysterious, clever but attainable.

Valmont (Female, 28-35)
-          Over confident artsy type who is sexually ambiguous.   She needs to be a lil bougie, poised, and is a “tell it like it is” kinda girl.

     Auditions: TBA

What’s your idea? Innovation Night seeks new ‘Idea Sharers’

When is the last time you had a great idea.  I mean that one great idea that you are sure will change the world. I’m sure some of you reading this right now have ideas for some of the best things yet to be invented, created, or even simply thought about.  But instead of sharing your idea with someone you keep it bottle up in the closets of your mind; or on your computer; or in a scrap notebook somewhere.  Or even on that napkin from Starbucks where countless caramel macchiatos inspire you. You obviously thought the idea had some merit or you wouldn't still be thinking about it.  It surfaces every now and again, but you insist on stifling it. Suffocating it and storing it in the back of your mind never to be seen again.

So, what’s the real reason you haven’t shared it with anyone?  Are you so wrapped up with the creation of it all that “it’s too hard to explain to anyone else” or do you fear that your idea isn’t “good enough?”  Or are you afraid that someone will take it?  Whatever the reason, we all have those ideas in the back of our heads waiting for the right moment to let them out.  The problem is those perfect moments where the stars align and the angels sing never seem to occur at that perfect time. 

What if I said that the stars will align on Tuesday, January 25th and the angels start singing at about 7pm. The location is The Ron Joyce Centre in Burlington where Trivaris will host its fourth annual Innovation Night.  Here, idea sharing is the name of the game.

Idea sharers are welcome to come out and share their ideas in a public forum buzzing with positivity and constructive feedback from people who can help direct you in the right path to starting to see your dreams take flight.  The first step is to share.  Be Bold! Dare to Dream!

Signing up is easy.  All you need to do is contact Elaine Holding at 905-633-6354, eholding@sbpartners.ca or Cindy Porter 905-332-5433 ext. 205, cindy.porter@trivaris.com , to be put on the list.  Space is limited and it’s first come first serve.  What are you waiting for?  It’s just a click or a phone call away!

Not sure if you want to share?  Then come out and support those who do.  See what the evening is all about and who knows...next year might be your year.

Dare to have a voice. Be Bold. Dare to dream.

Remember that the Wright brothers who changed the way we travel today started off with just an idea.  Microsoft, FedEx, Google and Facebook, some of the most successful companies to date started off with just an idea.  An idea is the spring board that sets in motion the sequence for success. Sharing that idea and getting the right constructive feedback is even more important in the realization of the goal.
