Class #1: The Incredible Career and a little bit of Improv with Linda Kash

Saturday February 20, 2021 at 4:00pm EST

Linda Kash began her career at the Second City in Toronto, where she performed, directed and conducted workshops. She has appeared in and directed a number of plays, films and television shows throughout Canada, the US, Europe, Russia and New Zealand.

Linda has also co created several shows for TV including “Go Girl!” and “The Joe Blow Show” for The Comedy Network, which she also directed. More recent directorial projects include Colin Mochrie in “HYPROV” for Just For Laughs and the Edinburgh festival, a season of Love It or List It for The W Network and a short film which she also wrote called Nine Letters.

Linda teaches acting and improv workshops and in 2009, co-founded a Performing Arts School called PAPA. She is best known as The Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel (a successful campaign since 1994) but her proudest work to date by far is her fabulous blended family.

Website: http://lindakash.ca

4:00-4:30pm: Linda will talk about her experiences in the industry and how she found her way into the roles she has fulfilled.
4:30-5:00pm: Linda will facilitate an Improv workshop with students who live in the Creative Expressions LLC. All attendees are welcome to participate as audience members during the workshop.

We had an excellent time with Linda and are looking forward to the next session with you! 

 

Class #2: Explore filmmaking with Mike Moring

Saturday February 27, 2021 at 4:00pm EST

Mike will be showcasing projects that he has worked on, highlighting the behind the scenes work put into filmmaking, and talking about his recent short film "Before It Dies." Mike created this short film with his partner Taylor within the span of a weekend from script to final edit as a contribution to the 4th Line Theatre's "Digital Festival of Light and Dark." Please watch the short film prior to this discussion in this class.

Mike has been an active (or semi-active) member of Peterborough’s film community since he was a teenager with the release of his award-winning short film, Untitled. Since then, Mike has continued to hone his craft and explore various genres. His work (like the short drama, Natasha and the short horror, A Certain Kind of Monster) has been showcased at a number of international film festivals including Montreal's prestigious Fantasia Film Festival.

He enjoyed satirizing his hometown as the co-creator and co-star of the recurring comic web series Mike and Adam are Jobless. He is also proud to have his name in the credits – in various roles – in the work of many of his peers. Presently, Mike is the Director of Photography and Editor for The Fish’n Canada Show (Global).
Pandemic permitting, he hopes to continue work on his first feature-length film in 2021.
