SoFine The School of Fine Arts Podcast

Pat Foran (actor, creator, writer, arts manager) joins me to talk about a fascinating devised theatre project based on a collection of letters to Franz Kafka. We talk about the creative process, making theatre in Newfoundland, and (Pat is also the manager of Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland) about arts management and the creativity needed in that area. All in all, a great conversation about what it means to make theatre in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Maria Kilfoil, manager of the new Grenfell Makerspace, talks design, building, diy culture, arts, and the exciting new possibilities this brings to Corner Brook and west coast of Newfoundland.

Renate Pohl, Assistant Professor and resident designer with our BFA Theatre program talks about her interest in, and commitment to, living in space, designing for hostile environments, and what it might take to get us beyond the stars.

Melissa Tremblett is a visual artist, originally from Sheshatshiu, Labrador and Diana Chisolm is a visual artist originally from Nova Scotia. Both now live in Corner Brook and we talk about their projects and inspiration for those projects and what it is to live and make art on the west coast of Newfoundland.
