Theatre Synergy in Nelson

Thursday, June 1, 1978

Unique Conference of Performing Arts

Theatre Synergy, a unique
conference. of theatre compa:
nies in British Columbia, was
held last month in Nelson.

Billed as a “festival of
original Canadian theatre,
dance, and music by B.C.
performing arts companies in-
volved in the collective creative
process," the event was spon-
sored by Theatre Energy and
Selkirk College.

Bryan Marrion of Theatre
Energy and one of the or-
ganizers of the event, was’
enthusiastic about its success.
“It was a wonderful coming
together of six exciting experi-

to capacity as local regidents
took advantage of the unique
cultural opportunity.

The festival has the pro-
mise of becoming an annual
event, and a highly successful
one at that, “What we don't
want,” stated Marrion, is sum-
ming up the discussion of the
future of the event held at the
wrap-up meeting, “is for it to
become a big, slick, commercial
enterprise, ‘Some of the best
chances for dialogue took place
stirring the soup for dinner or
on the drive into town from the
billet. It was a low-key festival.
Everyone was relaxed, enjoyed

the beauty of the area, and lots
of good exchanges took place.
We want to keep it that way.”
Nevertheless, theatre-
goers interested in high quality
innovative pieces in dance,
music, mime, and theatre would
do well to keep an eye peeled
towards the Kootenays next
April.
. ‘The participating compa-
nies were Brass Tacks Vocal
Company, Canadian Theatre of
the Deaf, Tamahnous Theatre
Workshop, Terminal City
Dance, and Touchstone Theatre
of Vancouver, and Theatre
Energy of Winlaw.

SCOUTS REQUIRE OLD NEWSPAPERS

The 2nd Castlegar (North) Group Committee of
Boy Scouts’ of Canada would appreciate the
co-operation of the citizens of Castlegar in saving your
old newspapers. Beginning now, the Group Committee
will collect your used newspapers to sell to an
Insulation Company. The papers must be newsprint
only or flyers on newsprint. If possible please have
your papers tied in tight bundles, 10 to 18 inches high
by 114 by 15 inches. For pick-up, please call 365-6933
or 365-5725 or contact a Beaver, Cub or Scout in your

neighborhood. Save these numbers as this will be a

artists, and admini-
strators gathered together and
shared. It couldn't have worked
better!"

Marrion's sentiments were
echoed by other festival parti-
cipants throughout the week-
long event, and at the wrap-up
meeting held by the companies
it was resoundingly agreed to
repeat the phenomenon next
year.

As one Vancouver actor
put it, “All year long I give
through my work to the public
—do it for someone elsé. This is
the one time I do it for me!”

Certainly the rewards to
the performers were not mone-
tary. Funding for the festival
was provided by a small grant
from Selkirk ‘Coflege which
covered some of the transpor-
tation costs for the five Van-
couver companies that par-
ticipated. None of the partici-
pants were paid. Everyone was
billeted, and companies took
turns cooking dinners in a
borrowed church hall.

The Nelson Arts Council
provided a wine and cheese
reception for the opening night
festivities and also ran the box
office. The technical director of
Uriiversity Theatre gave his
time, as did members of the
student union who ran the
Green Room each night.

Even though the emphasis
of the festival was on the com-
panies sharing with each other,
theatre-goers in Nelson and
surrounding communities were
not excluded from the excite-
ment of the week. Each evening

Dear Ann Landers: Recently you ran a letter from a woman who

} wanted to know if it was possible for her pet to be buried with her.

+ (She was sure her dog would die of a broken heart if she
} predeceased him. I just read something that came off the Reuters
} wire. It might be of interest to your readers.
. It seems 30 humans have asked to be buried in the Hartsdale,
. N.Y., Canine Cemetery and their requests were granted. The
3 cemetery was established 20 miles north of New York City in 1896
; and is the oldest pet cemetery in the United States. At least 5,000
: dogs and cats—also rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and an
; elephant—are buried there. Dog houses, toy bones and porcelain
: reproductions of the animals appear on many of the headstones,
: Urns containing the human ashes-are attached to some of the
headstones. To be buried at Hartsdale you must be cremated.
The director of the cemetery, when asked why people go to so
:.much trouble and expense, replied, “They want to repay the
animal for the years of pleasure it gave them.”
A few celebrities who have their pets buried there are Kate
Smith, Gene Krupa, John Barrymore and Joe Garagiola.

more the year after. And with good cause. Insiders say
that in each episode Farrah, playing her old character
Jill Monroe, will grab the principal role and steal the
show. Otherwise, why bring her back? Jackie, Kate and
Cheryl aren't going to like Farrah stealing the spotlight.
Also, by her own acknowledgment, Farrah's future is
squarely on the line’ with her forthcoming movie
‘Somebody Killed Her Husband.’ If it's a bomb Farrah
could easily become a distinct liability instead of the
asset she's believed to be by Aaron Spelling and Leonard
Goldberg, the producers of ‘Charlie's Angels’ who sued
to get her back. Finally, Farrah herself threatens to
muddy the legal! water still further. Although she agreed
out of court to ‘return to the hit TV show, her lawyers
aré said to be preparing a suit against Spelling and
Goldberg for $42 million. If filed, it would claim that
threats of legal action from Spelling-Goldberg Produc-
tions discouraged movie producers from offering work
to her.-

She cancelled dates with Dennis pleading illness, then
