AN IMPROV INTENSIVE WITH LEE BOYES

Improv is fun! Finding your voice and spontaneously creating with others, can be a wonderful experience. However; we often get so wrapped up in our experience, that we may forget that of the audience.

The Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre would like to invite you for a special Artist Talk and to view the work created by our February Artist-in-Residence, Rhys Douglas Farrell.

The event takes place at the Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre on Sunday, February 23rd. Doors will open at 2:00pm with light snacks and drinks provided by KOAC. His talk will take place at 2:30pm, and there will be time to view his work until the conclusion of the reception at 4:00pm.

The works in this exhibition find their origins in Leila Armstrong’s interest in the nature/cultural divide. 

What is nature if not folk tales, Disney wildlife documentaries, and zoos? Subsequently, her understanding of nature matured. 

Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life, created by Keith Alessi, and directed by Edmontonian Erika Conway, tells the inspiring story of how a life-threatening cancer diagnosis led Keith to leave the corporate world and embrace his passion for the banjo.
