COMMUNITY PLAY REUNION for 10th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival 2013 in Vancouver on Oct 30 2013

Community Celebration
COMMUNITY PLAY REUNION
Wednesday October 30, 6pm – 7:30pm
Carnegie 3rd floor Gallery and Classroom, 401 Main
Ten years ago, in celebration of Carnegie’s 100th anniversary, the neighbourhood was invigorated by the two week presentation of In the Heart of a City: The Downtown Eastside Community Play at the Japanese Hall. Over eighty performers from the community performed to eight sold out houses and standing ovations. The Heart of the City Festival is built on this legacy. Join cast and crew and other community participants for an opportunity to socialize, catch up, compare stories, and watch a short film on the play. With words from Michael Clague about his experiences as Director of the Carnegie Centre during the making of the Community Play. If you weren’t involved in the Community Play please feel welcome to attend as sharing is a big part of remembering. Refreshments provided. Everyone is welcome! Free

 

This event was on  Day 8 of  the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!

On page 9 of the Festival Program guide, there is a writeup on AHA MEDIA

The Festival is thrilled to partner with the DTES’s AHA Media to provide social media coverage (video/photos/blog) of the Heart of the City Festival. AHA Media gives voice to our local community and provides services for individuals and organizations to share their news and special events on a broader scale through social media. Founded in 2008 by local artists April Smith, Hendrik Beune, and Al Tkatch, AHA Media previously collaborated with Fearless City Media and has an ongoing working relationship with W2Community Media Arts and various other organizations and individuals in the DTES community. The members of AHA Media describe themselves as “definitely not mainstream media”. Based in Vancouver’s DTES, their style is described as non-invasive and unassuming.
