Learn the steps of documentary filmmaking through the case study of the 48 Hour Film Challenge. Alexis Marie Chute, award-winning filmmaker, will share her process of creating her documentary short, “Of Love & Light,” during the 48 Hour Challenge in 2021. Alexis will cover developing a shot list, storyboarding, writing interview questions, preparing equipment, working with a team, scheduling the shoot, sourcing music, and editing. The 48 Hour Film Challenge inserts a “Key” when the clock begins of things that must be included in the film. Alexis will share how she incorporated those elements on the fly.

“Of Love & Light” interviews nineteen-year-old Edmontonian Jordan Stonehouse whose mother, Lisa, died at the age of 52 at the University of Alberta Hospital following complications due to AstraZeneca vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Lisa was the first case of VITT in Alberta.

Being effective and at your best requires you look after yourself first. If you don’t, eventually over time you will feel burnt out and exhausted with little energy left for anyone or anything.
For many of us, putting ourselves first can be difficult as we feel selfish doing so. It starts with you is about looking after yourself first, to bring back the joy in your life, so you can have a better quality of life and continue to effectively help others.
Using a variety of simple techniques I will teach you how to lead a healthier life physically, mentally and emotionally.
If not now, then when?

This workshop will explore the multitudinous ways theatre can be utilized in the classroom, the playground and even the broader school community. Experimenting with different models of performance during a pandemic has expanded our understanding of where and how theatre can happen. This hands-on, interactive session will explore ways to cultivate playful storytelling in and out of the classroom. Together we will investigate methods of creating flexible and imaginative performance spaces throughout the entire school, from math class to the supply closet.

This session is to collaborate with other K-12 Fine Arts/Drama teachers.
