She is hoping to attract teams of three to six people to create a 10-minute play at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. At the end of the workshop, each group will perform their production in RCA91裸聊视频檚 Mary Irwin Theatre with the public invited to check them out.

Each participating group with have local theatre professionals volunteering their time to assist them.

She calls the workshop an opportunity for those who performed live theatre in high school and left it behind or adults who wondered about theatre but never pursued the thought beyond their own mind.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not an age thing. Anyone can take part. You don91裸聊视频檛 need to feel intimidated by the idea as it can be a fun experience,91裸聊视频� she said.

Bizovie, who works with Kool Arts Society as art program coordinator for adults with developmental disabilities, said she has enjoyed a passion for theatre and the arts in her life, started by her mother.

91裸聊视频淲e grew up in a small town (in Alberta) but my mom would take us to shows whenever she could in the larger cities, and we grew up singing and dancing a lot around the house,91裸聊视频� Bizovie recalled.

Since moving to Kelowna four years ago, Bizovie describes Kelowna having a strong cultural arts community that has grown a lot even since she arrived here.

91裸聊视频淲e are seeing more community involvement in our theatre scene which is very exciting to see, and hopefully the various cultural disciplines will continue working together even more than they do now to help our cultural scene grow,91裸聊视频� she said.

Bizovie says B.C. Culture Days aims to encourage thousands of British Columbians to participate in open rehearsals, workshops, discussions, tours and collaborative art projects in a provincewide celebration.

91裸聊视频淧eople who might feel they don91裸聊视频檛 have room in their lives to participate in arts and culture activities will hopefully be encouraged to take the time see what is out there and hopefully find inspiration for them or their families to get involved in whatever capacity they might be able to do that,91裸聊视频� Bizovie said.
