Flying Pig Theatre Academy - Mondays
Creative 360
4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Flying Pig Theatre Academy is a theatre school for young people ages 7 to 14. You don’t need to audition to be part of this troupe. Just come and let your imagination fly! Students, grouped into elementary and middle school ages, come together at times to rehearse and work in mixed groups on various scenes.

Students begin by understanding the stories and their characters, learning stage movement and use of voice, doing improvisations and pantomime. Next, learn more about how to set the story on stage and have a hand in it all: plan and build sets and properties, design make-up, costumes, and wigs; and decide which sounds and lights will bring it all to life. At the end of the 14 weeks, join in showcasing your art to friends and family so that they can join us in our flight of fancy.

Classes are taught by Denyse Clayton and Kristiina Pilnik. Both have extensive experience locally and abroad in planning, teaching and directing children’s and adult performing arts.

Flying Pig Theatre Academy was born as an homage to Roger Henderson, who thought the world of pigs and theatre. Roger, a professional director, was a familiar presence in the theatre in Midland. He directed various plays and musicals here and generously shared his talents in the stage arts with many of us. He passed away in 2009, surrounded by good friends and never letting go of his wonderful sense of humor.

This partnership grew out of the synergy between the missions of Meta4 and C360 and our common enthusiasm to see imaginations soar in our community.

Classes will be held once a week for 14 week. Choose Mondays or Saturdays.

Mondays, 4:30 – 6:30 pm

Mondays, February 1, 8, 15, 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, April 12, 19, 26, May 3, 10, 17

Growing Green in the Forest Glen Art Exhibit
Creative 360
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

An installation of the woven forest by fiber artist Roz Berlin
Over 200 magnificent trees take root in the gallery at Creative 360. Berlin has been hand-weaving her forest for over 30 years. It began as an inspiration to weave a tree for the doorway of her young son’s room in response to the book “Where the Wild things Are.” Once she started weaving trees, she did not stop. Now you can explore the forest, weaving yourself in, out, around, and through the branches and roots. The magic and mystery of the woven forest may awaken in you, as they have in Berlin, a desire to protect and preserve the natural environment that we have inherited. Several special events will take place in the woven forest during March and April.

On exhibit March 5 – April 23. Gallery visits are free, thanks to our generous donors.

Donations always gratefully accepted.

Members-only reception with the artist, Thursday, March 4 / 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Free public reception, Friday, March 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
