River Valley Rendezvous! 2014-2015
Through River Valley Rendezvous, Theatre Wakefield has consolidated its model for engaging English-speaking seniors and youth living in Quebec’s Outaouais region in various heritage animation activities for re-vitalizing the cultural heritage of the Lower Gatineau Valley.The project ran from September, 2014 through November, 2015. Participating seniors were mentored in a heritage animation process of workshopping and scripting local history for young actors, musicians, and storytellers. Four of the resulting stories were developed into historical vignettes for the new touch-screen installations at the Maison Fairbairn Heritage Centre.
