Our Hidden Hills

The Partners

Picture
Our Hidden Hills projects have attracted a variety of partners which are now benefitting Theatre Wakefield and the community it serves through the sharing of expertise, ideas and resources, and complementary skills.
We are profoundly grateful to the following partners:

The Fairbairn House Heritage Centre has worked with Theatre Wakefield on the original design of Our Hidden Hills, hosted the outdoor performances of Stitches in Time in 2012 and 2014, and contributed mentoring and reference materials to the creation of the River Valley Rendezvous historical vignettes.The vignettes are narrated slideshows that have been uploaded onto Maison Fairbairn’s touch-screen installations, and provided the primary performance venue for A Bridge to the Past.

The Shawville Garage Youth Centre, the Hull Adult Education Centre, and  St. Michael’s High School in Low hosted and co-delivered the original series of Our Hidden Hills workshops.

The Gatineau Valley Historical Society  has provided ongoing support for historical research and technical expertise to the writing workshops for River Valley Rendezvous.

Outaouais artists and arts professionals contributing their diverse talents have included musician and technician Doug McArthur, history author and musician Phil Jenkins, musician, playwright, and storyteller Ian Tamblyn, playwright and actor John Hardie, dramaturge Jennifer Boyes Manseau, and multimedia producers and community animators Robert and Brenda Rooney of Rooney Productions.

The Department of Canadian Heritage’s Development of Official-Language Communities Program Community Life Component provided funding for Our Hidden Hills, and its Community Cultural Action Fund provided funding for River Valley Rendezvous.

Employment and Social Development Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program also provided funding for the Development Phase of River Valley Rendezvous.

Le Conférence Régionale des Èlus de l'Outaouais provided funding for the French translation and performances of Stitches in Time in 2014.
