Chemainus Theater Festival
Chemainus - You've most likely seen the movie and read the book - but as the scrooge tells us - many are taking in the real life experience.
A Christmas Carol will take to the stage a total of 68 times before it wraps on January 8th. Director - Mark Dumez says the first week has been a successful one.
The theatre produces six main stage shows and three children's shows every year. That translates into thousands of theatre-goers ,and local businesses are benefitting.
Lou Roelofsen is the general manager of the Best Western festival inn, his hotel and the theatre team up to offer visitors a more relaxed atmosphere.
Roelofsen noticed a dip in sales in 2009, but this time around, there's nothing to complain about, with a staff of 25, the hotel is staying busy.
Across the street from the theater is where you'll find urban legends salon and spa. They to have experienced a spike in sales, customers wanting to look there best before a night on the town.
Those are just a few examples, restaurants, boutiques, and other small businesses are also benefitting from the theatre's success.
So with local businesses working together - it appears there's an economic rebound in Cowichan valley.

그랜빌 섬엔 큰 마켓이 있다. 다양한 야채와 과일 생선을 파는 시장으로 우리로 치면 전통시장 쯤 된다. 이건물 천장에도 커다란 기중기가 매달려 있다. 떨어지지는 않을까 괜한 걱정을 해본다. 마켓 안에 진열된 과일과 야채가 내뿜는 형형색색의 빛깔이 내 눈을 자극한다. 화덕에선 베이글이 익어간다. 마켓은 아침 장을 보려는 손님들로 꽤 붐빈다. 퍼블릭 마켓 한 쪽에서 웃음소리가 들려온다. 손님과 상인이 유쾌하게 대화중이다. 주인장, 카메라 보고 반갑게 손을 흔들어 준다. 퍼블릭 마켓에 대해 이야기 해 달라고 하자 멋진 대답이 되돌아온다. “퍼블릭 마켓의 장점은 다양한 음식재료에 있죠. 밴쿠버는 다문화 사회입니다. 북미인, 아시아인, 중동인등 세계 여러 지역 사람들이 모여 삽니다. 이들이 원하는 모든 음식 재료를 이곳에 살 수 있죠. 큰 웃음과 함께.” 혹시 우리네 시장처럼 에누리가 있을까 궁금해졌다. “에누리 말인가요? 아니요. 에누리는 할 수 없고요. 큰 웃음으로 보답해 드립니다. 여기 오시는 손님에게 모두 즐거운 하루를 만들어 드리지요, 이것이 중요합니다. 기분도 좋고 맛있는 음식에 좋은 와인도 곁들이시고 행복한 시간을 갖는 거지요.” 퍼블릭 마켓에서 커피 한 잔을 샀다. 커피 한 잔의 여유. 행복이 밀려온다.

Krzysztof Wodizcko and Gary Kirkham: Queen Victoria, Amy #1
Created by Krzysztof Wodiczko with Gary Kirkham
June 12 and 13, 2014
Victoria Park - Queen Victoria Statue, 57 Jubilee Dr, Kitchener,
Queen Victoria is a video projection of life stories of as told by seven community members, projected on the statue of Queen Victoria, in Victoria Park, Kitchener.
On May 17th and 18th of the Victoria Day week-end just past, seven individuals from the community were told their life stories. Each individual was video recorded with two video cameras. A head mounted camera was focused on the face to capture a fixed image of the head and the expressiveness of the eyes and mouth. A second camera was focussed on the torso, to capture the the expressiveness of the hands and arms.
The two video recordings were merged into one, to be projected onto the statue and to track and fill in the face and torso of Queen Victoria. The projected video animates the statue, effectively making the face and hands of the Queen those of each individual story teller.
Krzysztof Wodiczko is Professor in Residence of Art, Design, and the Public Domain at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He is renowned for his large-scale slide and video projections on architectural facades and monuments. He has realized more than eighty such public projections in Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Since the late 1980s, his projections have involved the active participation of marginalized and estranged city residents. Simultaneously, he has been designing and implementing a series of nomadic instruments and vehicles with homeless, immigrant, and war veteran operators for their survival and communication.
Gary Kirkham is a Kitchener-based playwright, actor and filmmaker whose plays include Falling: A Wake (Scirocco Drama), Queen Milli of Galt (Samuel French), Pearl Gidley (Scirocco Drama) and Pocket Rocket, written with Lea Daniel. He is an artistic associate at the MT Space, and has worked as a playwright collaborator with the company on several shows including Seasons of Immigration, Body 13, Occupy Spring, and the critically acclaimed The Last 15 Seconds. He has also collaborated with Lost & Found Theatre on Radio Leacock and Inter Arts Matrix on Frankenstein's Ghost. He authored an adaptation of Easter by August Strindberg for the Chemainus Festival. His plays have had over 40 productions across Canada, the United States and the Middle East. Gary was the Blyth Festival’s Playwright in Residence in 2008.
