Keyano College Lecture Series: How to Write Poems About Fires

Keyano College is once again hosting a free lecture series for the community to enjoy.

The lecture series is hosted by various instructors from the College, and the lectures range in theme and topic. Attending a lecture is a wonderful opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation and to learn something new about a topic that has piqued your interest! 

The next lecture will be held on Friday, October 28, 2016 and will explore "How to Write Poems About Fires". The lecture will be hosted by Dr. Ryan Cox, an English instructor at Keyano.  

Dr. Cox seeks to demystify the process of creating a poem and will answer questions such as, "How do you write a poem?" and "What does a poem even look like?"

There will also be a special presentation of new poetry that was written with the support of an Alberta Foundation for the Arts grant.

Be sure to make Oct. 28th in your calendars and join Dr. Cox in the Keyano Recital Theatre at 7 pm.

tiff Film: Pride

Fort McMurray Tourism and Keyano Theatre & Arts Centre presents: tiff Film Circuit Pride, May 21, 8pm at the Keyano Recital.

Margaret Thatcher's iron-fisted rule over 1980s Britain prompted waves of political protest. Perhaps the most amazing response of all occurred when Welsch coal miners and London lesbians and gays found a common cause. Pride tells the story of that unlikely alliance! Pride is a comedy that highlights some in the mining village that have to get over their homophobia and some of the gay activists that just have to get over themselves! Tickets: All Seats $13, rating: Coarse Language.

The Grand Seduction charts the lengths to which the community will go to enchant a visitor from the city. Like many affected by the collapse of the fishing industry, residents of this once-thriving village are driven to seek employment in the city or, worse, queue for government assistance. The future looks brighter, briefly, when a plastics company proposes building a factory in the village—until the villagers learn that they need to secure a full-time doctor to serve the community’s needs, which is easier said than done. Enter Dr. Christopher Lewis (Taylor Kitsch; television’s Friday Night Lights, The Bang Bang Club), a young, cosmopolitan plastic surgeon banished to the physician-starved seaside due to a previous misdeed. In a hilarious attempt to charm him—without revealing their plan—the villagers take up the doctor’s beloved cricket and fall over themselves trying to persuade him that he has come to the most fascinating, desirable place in the world.

Gentle, whimsical and poignantly funny, The Grand Seduction is brought to life through tremendous performances from Ireland’s Brendan Gleeson (Albert Nobbs, Gangs of New York) and Newfoundland-born Canadian icon Gordon Pinsent (Away From Her, Saint Ralph). Shot on location in Trinity Bay, the film marvelously captures the colour and vibrancy of Newfoundland’s coastal landscape, and is certain to delight even the saltiest cynic.
